Google bets $20,000 you can’t crack into Chrome

    If Chrome is hacked -- and this requires escaping the Chrome sandbox using vulnerabilities only in Google-written code -- the competitor will win $20,000 and a Google CR-48 Chrome OS netbook. Perhaps because of the unfinished state of Chrome OS, competitors will not have the option of trying to break into Chrome on a Chrome OS netbook

    Google will get new coder for them and more security to chrome :)

    hope some one will break it...

    But as they are betting 20k$ + laptop ,i am guessing there must be some special security in it :)

    I bet they loose that much every year hiring one person to take the trash out, I doubt they'll be short of a few bob

    They don't lose anything really, if chrome is hacked they'll just upgrade and make it more secure .

    i just saw one posted for openVAS last week...not sure how recent it was, but i was assuming that those updates i get for openVAS/nmap/nessus and metasploit are all recent or sent when one is discovered

    could be wrong

    any of you a member of nmap-dev group? have you ever contributed? i have submitted a dozen or so ideas. i don't know LUA/NSE , though
