"The annual Pwn2Own contest held at the CanSecWest hacker conference
in Vancouver, B.C. has already claimed its first round of victims.
Included in the wave of fallen Web browsers hacked by security buffs
were Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6.2 on 64-bit Windows 7, Safari
on OS X and the Apple (NSDQ:AAPL) iPhone."

...."Contestants are contractually prohibited from publicly disclosing
the vulnerabilities until the appropriate vendors have been notified
and had a chance to patch the affected systems."

Nice to know that the exploits will not be aired until after the
vendors are notified so appropriate patches can be issued.
