this just in on blogs. BB Torch on OS .246 Hacked

This years Pwn2Own event is well underway in Vancouver. The yearly event takes the best White hat hackers and challenges them to exploit computers and operating systems so that their vulnerabilities may be shared with the owners of those operating systems in an effort to make them more secure. In previous years, Research In Motion has stood its ground but this year results are now in for BlackBerry. The news however, isn't the best. This year, a BlackBerry Torch running OS 6.0.0.246 was successfully exploited using the long awaited WebKit browser. The browser exploit allowed Vincenzo Iozzo, Willem Pinckaers and Ralf Philipp Weinmann to gain access to all contact information as well as the image database.

Yep, they broke in through WebKit. Which means, be careful which porn sites you visit! :eek:

Yep the price we pay for finally having a real browser :-( now this has me wondering about the Playbook. Isn't it using the webkit browser too?
