Pwn2Own Vancouver typically takes place during the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, Canada, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year's event will be hybrid - participants can submit their exploits remotely and ZDI staff in Toronto and Austin will run the exploits.

The car is being offered to those who participate in the automotive category.

There are three difficulty levels in this category and the Model 3 is being offered in each of them.

As part of the new enterprise communications category, participants can earn up to $200,000 for demonstrating exploits against Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

Other categories include virtualization, with a top prize of $250,000 for Microsoft Hyper-V client exploits, a web browser category, with a top prize of $150,000 for Chrome and Edge exploits, an enterprise application category, with a maximum prize of $100,000 for Microsoft 365 exploits, a server category, with up to $200,000 offered for Microsoft Exchange and Windows RDP exploits, and a local privilege escalation category, with $40,000 being the top prize for Windows 10 exploits.

At last year's event, the first edition of Pwn2Own affected by the pandemic, white hat hackers only earned a total of $270,000 for their exploits.
