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 2023 spring edition of Pwn2Own (Pwn2Own Vancouver) was held from 23rd March to 25th March 2022 in a hybrid format where participants are back to competing in-person and in virtual.
