I'd love to have seen Opera in there.

Good, maybe this will show people that Mac's are not completley secure and that you still need to be careful.

Firefox and IE8 have fallen now as well.

Chrome is the only browser atm that is still standing. Opera is not part of Pwn2Own.

EDIT: Nils will supposedly crack Chrome tomorrow. 15k ain't bad for a days work.

Same as last year, Apple is proven to be by far the most insecure platform.

However this really doesn't say too much; all these attacks were planned weeks and months ago; so how quickly it "fell" doesn't really correspond to much.

No matter what OS, security and being careful is paramount.

OSX and linux really aren't more secure than Windows. Most of the Windows viruses need user interaction to work. As long as you aren't stupid you are no more likely to get a virus using Windows as you are with Linux/OSX. In fact Windows is likely more secure as most Windows users have anti-viruses that protect the user from their own stupidity.

It comes down to the market share. This contest is proof that if people cared about writing non-windows viruses, its pretty easy to do.

Hackers don't care about OSX, and of the non-revenue driven Windows viruses, I would wager that most of them are made by linux enthusiasts, who would have no desire to target their own system.

Why can't they just get it right? They've got a fast browser out with some good features, but they can't get the security right. What a shame.

Nothing will ever be 100% secure because of one variable you can't count on....people. People as a whole are stupid and will click on anything you want them to as long as you have some flashy graphics or the promise of money/prizes. The only way to make anything completely secure is not let any idiots use it. So until they make a browser that can't be used by the general populace they're all gonna have security issues.

I understand that, but I'm sure a corporation can do better than getting owned within seconds two years in a row.
