White Hat hackers in the CanSecWest Pwn2Own annual contest found vulnerabilities in macOS and Safari which allowed, after a chain of exploits, Root access to win them cash rewards from Apple. Apple will be closing the vulnerabilities as soon as possible. In one exploit, the hackers left a message on the vulnerable MacBook Pro's Touch Bar showing it had been "Owned"! Ubuntu Linux, Windows Edge, and Adobe Reader were also hacked in the contest as well. — PING! Pinging dayglored and Shadow Ace for their interest and ping lists.

Cue the trolls who will ravish the thread with “see? SEE? macOS isn’t perfectly secure!” and conveniently avoid/ignore the observation that it took some of the best in the field to find the problems, which will likely be fixed on >90% of Macs within days.
