A popular hacking competition that’s taking place March 14-16 in Vancouver, Canada, titled “Pwn2Own,” will be impacted by this recent shift in Chinese policy, event organizers say. “There have been regulatory changes in some countries that no longer allow participation in global exploit contests, such as Pwn2Own and Capture the Flag competitions,” explained Brian Gorenc, director of Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, which manages the Pwn2Own event.
