Bug bounty hunters hacked a NETGEAR router and a Western Digital network-attached storage (NAS) device on the first day of the Zero Day Initiative’s Pwn2Own Tokyo 2020 hacking competition.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the competition has been turned into a virtual event and Pwn2Own Tokyo is actually coordinated by ZDI from Toronto, Canada, with participants demonstrating their exploits remotely.
On the first day of the event, the NETGEAR Nighthawk R7800 router was targeted by Team Black Coffee, Team Flashback, and teams from cybersecurity firms Starlabs and Trapa Security.
