Hack a Nexus Phone and $200,000 Is All Yours

 

As part of the Project Zero Security Contest Competition launched on Wednesday, Google is offering a sum of $200,000 to anyone who can hack a Nexus 6P and a 5X by using only the phone number and associated email address of each device.
The tech giant stressed that the vulnerability detected by the participants must have the ability to execute codes remotely on both smartphones. At the end of the day, it intends to uncover new security flaws from the contest that will assist in protecting other devices in the future. Interested entrants are encouraged to forward their research to the Project Zero team in the form of an Android issue tracker report.

A total of $350,000 is already reserved for the competition. The top prize winner will go home with $200,000. For the second and third runners up, $100,000 and $50,000 awaits them respectively. Once the competition is over, selected winners will be opportune to have their detailed entry posted on the Project Zero blog.
There is still more than enough time to participate as the competition won’t end until the next six months. It is open to all countries in the world except for North Korea, Quebec, Syria, Italy, Cuba, Sudan, Brazil, Iran and Crimea.

happy hacking to you
