By Brian T. Horowitz
Research firm TippingPoint DVLabs has a prize of $10,000 to award to someone who can hack a mobile phone without touching it.
The company will hold the Pwn2Own contest at its CanSecWest Applied Security Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. Contestants will have the opportunity to hack an iPhone, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, or BlackBerry device. In her blog post, Terri Forslof, TippingPoint's manager of security response, says the winning hackers can break into the phone via e-mail, SMS text, or Web browsing.
