Google Pixel vulnerability
Google releases it’s Pixel and Pixel XL phones last month. During PwnFest hacking competition in Seoul we saw an exciting demo from a group of Hackers from China. The group call themselves Qihoo 360. They successfully hack their target which was none other than Google Pixel. The group won $120,000 cash prize. Google is now working on security patches and you’ll get the update soon.
The hackers showed on stage as remote code execution. The attack started by receiving a special message with which the Pixel open Chrome and Play Store and latter it starts showing “Pwned by 360 Alpha Team” as shown below.
The attackers did all this in front of everyone within 60 seconds. Google has started many programs like this for young people to give them a chance to show what they’re made of. They ask them to find the haul in their software and when they do. Google gives them cash prizes.
