The Google Pixel fell victim to the efforts of competitive Chinese hackers at Seoul’s PwnFest competition. White-hat hackers from Qihoo 360 used an undisclosed vulnerability in Chrome to gain remote code execution privileges and win a $120,000 cash prize. This is the second time the Google Pixel was hacked in two weeks. The first exploit was discovered by Keen Team at a previous event in Japan.
Thankfully, Google has already patched the latest exploit and the changes have already been implemented into the browser’s stable version.
