The infamous Pwn2Own contest is well underway and is bringing results like no other contest. In the past 2 days vulnerabilities in Microsoft's IE 8 was discovered and exploited by Peter Vreugdenhil a security researcher participating in this contest. Apple's Safari was also exploited mostly to Own iPhone devices. Mozilla's Firefox was not left out of the party. A security researcher that goes by the name of Nils developed the exploit to attack Firefox 3.x. Note that all of those Vulnerabilities and exploits will be reported to Vendors in order to provide sufficient patches and the exploit code will not be available until the vendors patch there products.
