The Pwn2Own Competition challenges security experts to exploit web browsers to stand against their exploitation. On the first day of the competition, the only browser that could stand the attacks was Google’s new Chrome. While Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer fell one after the other.
In fact, Apple’s Safari was the first one to seize under the hackers’ attacks. Reportedly, Safari was exploited after a matter of seconds.
So, what makes Chrome so good. According to the former Pwn2Own champ, Charlie Miller:
As for Chrome, he says that he has identified a security bug in Google's browser but has been unable to exploit it because the browser's sandboxing feature and the operating system's security measures together pose a formidable challenge.
Google brought this one home, while the browser experts like Mozilla and Microsoft, their browsers couldn’t hold up and brought them, to say, a shame.
Score one for the Chrome folks.
