On the second day of Pwn2Own Ireland 2024, researchers demonstrated an exploit for the Samsung Galaxy S24. 

On day two of Pwn2Own Ireland 2024, hackers demonstrated attacks against 51 zero-day vulnerabilities, earning a total of $358,625, prizes that we have sum to the $516,250 earned by participants on the first day of the event.

With the $516,250 earned by participants on the first day of the event, the total payout at the hacking contest organized by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) has already reached nearly $850,000, and there are two more days left.  

“Today, we awarded $358,625 – which brings the event total to $847,875. The Viettel Cyber Security team has a commanding lead for Master of Pwn, but with two days left, there still could be changes.” reads the announcement published by ZDI.

The exploit of the day was demonstrated by Ken Gannon of NCC Group who chained five vulnerabilities to hack a Samsung Galaxy S24 device and get a shell and the installation of an app.
