Mobile hacking contest offers $300,000 in bug bounties Sep 15th 2013, 16:31 HP TippingPoint's bug bounty program said it will again sponsor a mobile-only hacking contest this fall, when it will put up $300,000 in prize money for researchers who demonstrate successful attacks against mobile services and browsers. The second annual Mobile Pwn2Own contest will take place in Tokyo on November 13-14, TippingPoint announced on its company blog today. Last year's inaugural contest was held in Amsterdam in September, alongside the EUSecWest conference. Altogether, TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI)—along with its cosponsors Google and BlackBerry—will offer $300,000 in cash awards, with the top prize of $100,000 paid to the first researcher or team who hacks a phone's baseband processor, the silicon inside phones that connects them to carrier networks.
