Contestants hacked the Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone during the second day of the Pwn2Own Austin 2021 competition, as well as routers, NAS devices, speakers, and printers from Cisco, TP-Link, Western Digital, Sonos, Canon, Lexmark, and HP. So far, Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative has awarded $777,500 over the first two days of Pwn2Own Austin, with $415,000 awarded during the second day and $362,500 won during the first day.

The Synacktiv team maintains a slight lead in the Master of Pwn standings with 15 Master of Pwn points and $150,000 won so far, one point ahead of the DEVCORE team that has 14 points and has earned $140,000.

The full Pwn2Own Austin 2021 schedule and the results following each challenge are available here.

They still earned $25,000 and 2.5 Master of Pwn points, reaching a total of $75,000 in awards after the first two days of competition.

Samsung Galaxy S21 was also the only device that wasn't compromised on the first day after F-Secure Labs' Ken Gannon couldn't get his zero-day exploit to work within the allotted time.

This edition of Pwn2Own Austin's consumer-focused event is also the first one to be extended to four days after 22 different contestants registered for 58 total entries.
