Chinese hackers broke into new Internet Explorer in 17 seconds


A few days ago, as you know, took place Pwn2Own – an annual competition for hackers. Not criminals of course and computer security experts. The event was held in the Canadian city of Vancouver.


Then pleased with this session? The next test of the protection of all popular browsers. From Safari to Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Last as always excelled.

Cult browser Microsoft has been opened for the record time. To “break defense” application gone a few moments.


Specialists from the team 360Vulcan Team coped with this task in 17 seconds. Proprietary technologies (like the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, «sandbox” and others) from breaking the program is not saved.


On some versions of the software in question? About the most current assembly of Internet Explorer 11.

The weakness of the Chinese IE understands perfectly. Which explains the fantastic speed “hack”?
