Chromium Blog: A Tale of Two Pwnies Part 1. This is beyond impressive to me. Articles like these remind me just how much smarter the rest of the world is than me. A short time ago, Google hosted a browser hacking competition for Chrome. Within 24 hours, two people were successful in exploiting the browser, [...]
