Pwn2Own is a computer hacking contest held annually by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative - ZDI. Contestants are challenged to exploit widely used software and mobile devices with previously unknown vulnerabilities. Winners of the contest receive the device that they exploited and a cash prize. The total prize for each contest is up to millions of dollars.

The 2021 fall edition of Pwn2Own (Pwn2Own Vancouver) was held from 02nd November to 04th November 2021 in a virtual format due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has limited many contestants’ traveling operations.
