Galaxy S26 Hacked 3 Times at Pwn2Own Ireland 2026

The second day of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 saw researchers earn $232,500 by exploiting 45 unique zero-day vulnerabilities. The Samsung Galaxy S26 was hacked three times by different teams, while other successful exploits targeted a Sonos speaker, AI infrastructure, and a smart home hub. The event, organized by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, aims to uncover zero-day flaws in fully patched devices before they can be exploited in the wild. Vendors have 90 days to patch disclosed vulnerabilities. The competition covers seven categories, including mobile phones, smart home devices, and AI infrastructure. The Samsung Galaxy S26 and Google Pixel 10 remain targets for the contest’s third day.
