Security researchers hacked the Samsung Galaxy S23 twice during the first day of the consumer-focused Pwn2Own 2023 hacking contest in Toronto, Canada.
Pentest Limited was the first to demo a zero-day on Samsung's flagship Galaxy S23 device by exploiting improper input validation weakness to gain code execution, earning $50,000 and 5 Master of Pwn points.
According to the Pwn2Own Toronto 2023 contest rules, all targeted devices run the latest operating system versions with all security updates installed.
During the Pwn2Own Toronto 2023 hacking event organized by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative, competitors can target mobile and IoT devices.
