    Looks like Firefox and Chrome weren't too far behind. It's always fun to see these kinds of events where security holes are found. . . at least when it's white hats doing it. icon_lol.gif

    Do they write the exploits that day or just present them on that appointed day?

    They usually have them already written. It's nice to see that they've increased the bounty for "pwning" devices. It used to be only about 10k. 100k is closer to being worthwhile.

    Yeah....$100k is for high value targets.

    The winners of the $100k prize dropped 2 zerodays on IE10...now I'm not sure if 2 IE10 zerodays would be worth $100k on the black market, but other zerodays definitely would.

    It's a great incentive to get greyhats to be more white...get em out the shadows!
