OK, I’ll start it then.. PWN2OWN 2009.. thoughts?

So, the favorite entry point was browsers and they all fell starting with Safari fell first followed by IE8.

I’ve heard outright disgust that such a competition sensationalizes exploits where security research should be a humble activity intended to better computing for the end user.

What are others thoughts on this years challenge?
