Pwnfest brings two zero-day system level hacks of Edge

So much for the most secure browser ever.

Darren Pauli at The Register reports that two Win10 1607 ( = Anniversary Update = Redstone 1) machines updated to this week’s security patch level were pwned in separate hacks.

It’s become a lucrative hobby. $140,000 each to Qihoo 360 (China) and LokiHardt (South Korea).

There’s also a hack using Flash on Edge on Win10 1607.
