"It's A Brand New Car!"
"This is the new Volkswagen, Fuhrer."
"Where is the steering wheel?"
"Mmmm, there seems to be a bug, Fuhrer."
"A Volkswagen bug? Heh heh. Ulric,
take this nitwit out and shoot him."

Tesla is the first automaker to participate in a Pwn2Own hacking event, which is run by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI).
The event happened in Vancouver this week and a team of two hackers managed to find an exploit on the last day of competition.
Over the past 4 years, Tesla has been running a bug bounty program and according to sources familiar with the effort, the company has given away hundreds of thousands in rewards to hackers who exposed vulnerabilities in its system

Not just Tesla...
On the first day of Pwn2Own 2019 hackers poked holes in Apple Safari, VMware Workstation and Oracle VirtualBox.

Contestants with the team of Fluoroacetate (Amat Cama and Richard Zhu) were the first to hit pay dirt; hacking Apple’s Safari browser via escaping the sandbox.
In total, day one of the two-day Pwn2Own hacking competition paid out $240,000.
The Norks glomed 20M from Mexican banks last year.
And for that trick, they were allowed two meals the next day!
Apple is impossible to hack. At least according to Swordmaker and the cult of apple.
But I think even the most diehard fans now admit apple like all software companies has hackable bugs in their code.
Imperfect beings cannot create perfection.
I heard it on Kung-fu The Legend Continues.
Looks to be a lefthand drive?

Wonder what the fascist IRS will make of the wun?
If I learned to code like that, I’d want the money!
But good for them!
Do you really want to listen to a guy that dies choking himself while masturbating?
It’s probably cheaper and more effective than hiring employees to do it.
I remember there was a competition back in the days like one of the pwn2pwn contests, it was a Mac desktop vs. Windows desktop, both run of the mill machines with latest operating systems and updates for each.
Two teams were trying to hack each one
The Mac was hacked in 8 minutes
The windows machine was hacked in by end of day
You would have thought it would have been the other way around. The Mac wasn’t more secure, it just wasn’t worth hacking into since they were such a minority of devices on the Internet. Security by obscurity wasn’t really security...
as long as you are not an American citizen and resident, you’re fine. But it’s my hometown Vancouver. believe me, you’d rather be taxed by the IRS than the canada revenue agency. canada is a socialist country mind you..
That’s what they WANT you to think.
There’s varying numbers you can find but you’ll find few that will contest that there’s a security flaw in every several thousand lines of code.
Today’s OS’s have 10’s of millions of lines of code.
No Benton Fraser types in the revenue department.
Sounds like Ethiopian Idol
Watch the finale of Ethiopian Idol, as the last contestant standing, after months of brutal begging for food resulted in death by starvation of one candidate a week, receives a comb.
Imperfect beings cannot create perfection.
Hackers will have the times of their lives if they actually do start sending valuable cargo across the country in driverless tractor trailer rigs.
I heard of the Persian flaw in the same show.
