Samsung Galaxy S26 hacked three more times at Pwn2Own Ireland
-
On the second day of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026, security researchers earned $232,500 in cash awards after exploiting 45 unique zero-day vulnerabilities.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 was successfully hacked three more times during the event, adding to the device's already notable presence at this year's competition. The Galaxy S26 has now become a recurring target for researchers demonstrating mobile exploitation techniques on the Pwn2Own stage.
The broader event highlights the continued strength of the zero-day market, with participants chaining multiple vulnerabilities to achieve successful compromises across a range of targets. Events like Pwn2Own give vendors early access to vulnerability details, allowing them to patch flaws before they reach attackers in the wild.
Specific CVE identifiers, affected firmware versions, and vendor advisories were not disclosed in the source material.
