What
“Pwn2Own for Automotive @ Automotive World Tokyo, January 2024”

Description
“Tesla hacked in under 2 minutes” is one of the major headlines. Researchers prepared for months, and they flew to Vancouver to take home a Tesla Model 3 and $100,000 in cash. 21 more zero day vulnerabilities were discovered across many industries at the same event. Pwn2Own.

What if we had a $1.5M pool to pay researchers to demonstrate some of the most creative exploits of vehicles in Tokyo, January of 2024? An automotive-specific Pwn2Own. It’s happening. In this talk, we’ll overview what Pwn2Own is, and we’ll ask you to provide components or vehicles to access some of the world's top research. The catch? There is none. We’ll handle the bug bounty payouts and there is no cap. One lucky Auto ISAC member will get a free sponsorship for the event!
