Google Chrome is via 2 bugs completely cracked, within 5 minutes. And then again cracked by another. Both hackers knew from the sandbox to escape and run code to execute.

The hack has happened in the Pwn2Own cracking contest at CanSecWest security meeting. The first cracking is done by the French security company VUPEN. In addition, Chrome also caught by another cracker, which thus assured of $ 60,000 prize money from Google. The Chrome-maker awards a total of $ 1 million for detected and reported vulnerabilities in its web browser.

The Internet giant will reward security researchers who exploits, complete with bugs used for this purpose, disclose to software makers. In late February, Google has decided to afford his own premiums, and no longer through Pwn2Own. The reason is that cracking game no longer requires that exploits and bugs will be shared with the creator of the cracked software.

Chrome-cracker when equal VUPEN has already shown no interest in Google’s terms. The French security company sells information about discovered security holes at large corporations and governments. And software vendors who have a contract with VUPEN.

The Switchblade is a three-wheeled, fully enclosed vehicle that you drive from your garage to a local airport. Once there, you swing the wings out and fly directly to your destination at up to 200 mph, at altitudes to 10,000 feet. You simply land and swing the wings closed, continuing on wherever you want to go.

he Ferrari-inspired clean shape is designed to produce a down-force in gusty wind conditions, stabilizing the lightweight vehicle on the road. The wings are set at the correct angle so you literally fly the plane off the runway! Landings are designed to be similar, in that you simply fly the vehicle onto the runway to land.

If you can’t access the Internet around March 8th, the FBI could be to blame. On this date, a number of domain name servers are due to be taken down, making all computers that use them net-less. Before you go get upset about this, or even worried, there’s a pretty legitimate justification here; the action is being taken in order to deal with a scourge called the DNSChanger Trojan, which modifies an infected computer’s DNS settings to direct traffic to some rather unsavory sites.
