At hacker competitions in 2020, hacked Windows 10, macOS and Ubuntu

Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the annual Pwn2Own hacker competition was held online, but its performance has not decreased a bit.

As part of this year's Pwn2Own, hackers were able to crack not only some popular programs, but also the most used operating systems.

Windows 10 was hacked by the Flourescence team, which received a prize of $ 40,000. MacOS was hacked through Safari by the Georgia Tech Systems Software & Security Lab team, for which it received $ 70,000. The RedRocket CTF team, which received root access to the system kernel, hacked Ubuntu . Her prize was $ 30,000.

Interestingly, the Android and iOS operating systems were not hacked as part of the competition this year. However, experts argue that this is not a sign of the complete safety of these systems.
