This process is such bullshit. The people exploiting systems are using chinese models that require no verification or restrictions. They dont need to "request for access", they have nothing in their way. The people getting fucked are the ones trying to play fair.

That’s a wrap for Team ZyGoat at Pwn2Own 2026. Two attempts, two successful exploits — one against Samsung and one against Pixel. We finished in 3rd place. The draw could have been better, but that’s part of the competition. CC: @Yogehi , @ir3l14

We literally talk face-to-face with the vendor and walk them through the vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities are then patched right away, because the researcher is able to demonstrate that, at such a prestigious event, the vulnerabilities have meaningful impact to the public.

So true lol
The day P2O contestants stop flexing details of their upcoming entries before they've even stepped on stage will be a great day. not only you poke the vendor to start panicking and hammer down on the product attack surface but you also provoke other contestants to start burning bugs

Hmmm.......
‼️ Researchers at depthfirst used AI to remotely take over the camera and photo roll of a phone that was browsing TikTok, chaining together bugs in open-source code the app depends on. TikTok has confirmed it fixed the flaw. depthfirst sent us an exclusive video of the PoC:

Excellent work, highly recommended !
Guys, I built a super fast Android decompiler called ASC. It completely replaced Jadx MCP for me and lets me analyze 10+ APKs in parallel. And this week my Agent use ASC found 2 RCE in Honor and Xiaomi! This tool now accepted by BlackHat EU Arsenal github.com/MG1937 #BHEU

Can't agree more
I'm 33 and I think Claude Code is melting my brain. For 6 months straight I've had 5-6 terminals open at once, waiting on responses just to smash "enter" 90% of the time. That's the whole job now. And it's doing something to me. A few friends and I keep circling back to the same thing in conversations: none of us feel as sharp as we used to. Maybe it's just us. But I keep wondering how many other people in their 30s feel it too. (And yeah: this is a me problem, how I lean on the tool, not the tool itself. Doesn't make the effect any less real.)

In the era of AI-generated code and automated research, I still believe human creativity has the edge. My latest High severity CVEs in Zoom’s Android and iOS clients (CVE-2026-53407, CVE-2026-53408) came from pure human reasoning—not automation 😎 zoom.com/en/trust/security-b…
