"Inaugural Pwn2Own Automotive Contest Dangles $1M for Car Hackers"

The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) has announced that over $1 million in cash and prizes will be offered at the first Pwn2Own hacking contest centered on car systems. The competition, named Pwn2Own Automotive, will consist of four categories: all things Tesla, In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), electrical vehicle chargers, and operating systems. It will be held in Tokyo in January 2024. ZDI's Brian Gorenc outlined the event's three primary objectives, which are to provide a venue to promote automotive research, incentivize vendors to participate in the security research community, and bring attention to the vehicle's subcomponents.
