F My Life: It's Funny, It's True, Except When It Happens to You

hackers ahead Make $10,000 Hacking Smartphones

Hackers and IT security gurus will convene on March 18 in Vancouver, British Columbia for the third annual Pwn2Own contest.

They will try to hack five types of smartphone: an Apple iPhone, a Research in Motion BlackBerry and phones running on Google’s Android, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile and Nokia’s Symbian operating systems.

The contest is sponsored by 3Com’s TippingPoint security division.  They will award $10,000 prizes to anyone who can hack into one of the phones and “pwn” it, meaning to totally dominate it.

The smartphones themselves will be awarded as prizes to whomever cracks them first.
