Chrome, Firefox, Java, IE10 exploited at Pwn2Own competition
During the first day of Pwn2Own competition at the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver , latest versions of all major browsers were exploited by hackers.
Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 were successfully pwned by various competitors, bringing them tens of thousands of dollars in prizes.
French vulnerability research and bug selling firm 'Vupen' brought down IE10 running on a Windows 8 powered Surface Pro tablet by exploiting a pair of flaws.
Researchers Jon Butler and Nils from MWR Labs managed to exploit Google Chrome on Windows 7 and also used a kernel bug to bypass the sandbox.
"By visiting a malicious webpage, it was possible to exploit a vulnerability which allowed us to gain code execution in the context of the sandboxed renderer process. We also used a kernel vulnerability in the underlying operating system in order to gain elevated privileges and to execute arbitrary commands outside of the sandbox with system privileges." they said. For this pwn they received $100,000 as reward.
The Java was also killed in Pwn2Own, Java cracked up to three times by three different hackers. Vupen also managed to exploit a vulnerability in Java, "Writing exploits in general is getting much harder. Java is really easy because there's no sandbox."
According to the participants, Chrome was the hardest target because of its sandbox and Java was the easiest target this year.

Speech to Text With Google Chrome
Imagine being able to speak an email into existence. Now stop imagining. Thanks to Google, you can already experiment with this for yourself. Voice recognition is here, and the day is coming soon where you will be able to use it for all sorts of applications. As technology advances, the way that we interact with our devices is constantly changing. Right now, Google is testing a new feature, Web Speech API, which would allow you to write an email using only your voice. It is currently available on Chrome Beta, if you would like to give it a try.
Speculation is such that it will possibly become available on Chrome for Android or possibly even Chrome for iOS. It may even be available in future versions of Chromebooks. Early testers have called it impressive and accurate. It works very quickly to recognize your voice, allowing you to speak at a fairly natural pace. In order to try it out, or if you want to use it on your own website, you will need to download Chrome Beta. If you are interested in learning more about it, Google created a demo, in order to show how it works.
As a JavaScript API, Web Speech API also allows web developers to use speech recognition on their websites and web applications. As such, this could allow for many other wide ranging opportunities. While voice search has long been supported, new expanded dictation support means that the possibilities are much more extensive. It is expected that in the future, talk apps will be performing all sorts of tasks. On the Google Chrome blog, it is suggested that future voice command applications could even include controlling game characters with only your voice.
While users are only able take email dictation out for a spin today, it is clear that this is only the beginning.

Google Rewards Chrome Hacker with $60,000 Payout
How would you like to get paid $60,000 to find something wrong with a product? That is exactly what one teenager did when he discovered an issue with the Chrome browser. Google is one of a growing list of businesses that are offering rewards to people who discover issues with their products.
Second Time Around
The teenager goes by the handle "Pinkie Pie" and this is the second time he has made a discovery that has cost Google money. This payout is a program that Google started in 2010 when they offered small payouts. In February 2012 they added to the prize with even issues that were fully functional. This teenager discovered a problem within Chrome and took one of two prizes at that event. Now, he has done it again and it looks like he is the only winner this time around.
Google isn’t the only big internet company that is using this idea. Facebook also offered payouts to users who spotted problems within the site. This can be quite the financial benefit for skilled researchers and it can be helpful for the companies who can fix the problem and provide a better product.
Benefits to Google and Web Browsers
The goal for these programs is to cut down on hacking, bug, and other security problems and to make the internet safer for the users. For instance, on a program like Google Wallet, hackers could get access to users’ money with prepaid card information. By paying fake hackers to try to steal their way into these sites, it can keep the real hackers from gaining access.
Google will pay higher rewards for finding flaws in services with sensitive information. Some client applications are not part of the program. This includes Google Desktop and Android, among others. All users will benefit from this program, some financially with fantastic payouts.
