To be fair, Z30 wasn't selected, which is also a good sign !

pretty sure it says 8 phones including the Z30 were the targets of the hacking competition. Five phone were breached via NFC, the Z30 was not one of the breached phones. It was a target.

Z30 was selected and was NOT hacked!

"Eight separate devices, including an Apple iPhone, Blackberry Z30, Amazon Fire phone and Google Nexus 7, were the targets for the security experts.

On the first day of the two-day competition five teams successfully used the bugs they had found to take over five devices. Three of the successes exploited NFC to give the attackers the ability to extract data at will from the phones. The other two attacks compromised a phone via its on-board web browser.

UK security expert Adam Laurie, Japan's Team MBSD and South Africa's MWR InfoSecurity were among the prize winners.

The Apple iPhone 5S, Samsung Galaxy 5, LG Nexus 5 and Amazon Fire Phone were all successfully compromised.

You are quite right! Thanks.

OT alert !
Lost the link to the HP site (the one provided lead me to an error page) but I believe 8 models were proposed and then each team selected the one they wanted to attempt to break. But I won't bet my arm on it

Edit : prefer the root source, there it is :

A record number of contestants set a fast pace for this year’s Tokyo competition – five teams, five targets, five wins.

OT: Interesting that Google pulled the plug on Google Wallet. Could there be a change of direction?

Google Wallet to pull plug on digital purchases.

Well, now I have read the BBC article, the Ars Technica article iPhone, Galaxy S5, Nexus 5, and Fire Phone fall like dominoes at Pwn2Own | Ars Technica and the HP Blog it is as clear as mud.

What is really clear is . . . good/solid journalism is lacking. But, we already knew that, didn't we?

At least two times.

BBRY's looking really weak right now, breaking down through the 11.50 support and for a short while the 11.30. I've been watching it, expecting a trend reversal. In any case, it's Friday. Markets close in 45 minutes. Let the options expire and we'll resume the ride again on Monday.

They didn't pull the plug on Google Wallet, they pulled the third party api that would allow developers to use GWallet as a method of payment.

@sidhuk - here in the USA (and I know this is very different than Canada and perhaps other places) there is nothing to kill on BlackBerry. Even if you have BlackBerry with NFC here in the USA - there is no way to use it for mobile payments. Not even the carrier based "softcard" (formerly ISIS) works on a BlackBerry currently - as far as I know. It doesn't even show on a search of SNAP.

Yup...but on a serious note, with the involvement of carriers as per yesterdays announcement ,
can't help but wonder if we can start seeing BBM Money in other countries. Besides, I don't think carriers are too happy with Apple Pay cutting them off.

Without getting too much OT, a carrier backed mobile payment system doesn't work. If you're not convinced, look at the Canadian mobile payment landscape which is heavily fragmented with no standard - even though Canada has the best infrastructure in place for NFC payments.

OT: Yeah, I agree with you. But there are other countries that may. Philippines, Malaysia, India, etc...And also I stand corrected here, I think it's not NFC dependent.

Thanks for the clarification.

Today is the perfect picture of past market performance in BlackBerry. Leading to a major announcement the clan pumps up the stock, at a certain point they sell. I being long will wait for the game to be over, before continuing the game of snakes and ladders.

It'll be interesting to see how much more profit-taking will occur on Monday before buyers initiate long positions with BBRY again. The weekend couldn't have come at a better time. This stock needs to recollect itself and start fresh next week.

To those who held on since the sub-$10 days, the run-up was just a blip and the strength of Chen's leadership will shine through.

To those who bought in during the $11+ rally, it'll be a longer term play. Give it until December 19th when Q3 earnings come out.
