If you’ve always wanted to get into hacking, now’s the time.
Today Google is launching the Project Zero Security Contest and awarding over $300,000 in prizes to anyone who can hack Nexus 6P and 5X knowing only the devices’ phone number and email address.
A new era of tech events has begun
We’re back in New York this November for the 4th edition of our growth-focused technology event.
To be eligible to win, contestants are required to dig up vulnerabilities that can be exploited remotely – by sending a text message or an email, for instance.
All winning participants will be invited to describe the bugs they’ve discovered in a short technical report that will appear on the Project Zero Blog.
The winner will scoop $200,000, while the runner-up will receive $100,000. There’s also another $50,000 in the prize pool for any additional winning entries.
Head to the official Project Zero Contest announcement for more details.
