iPhone, Safari, IE8, Firefox all fall on day one of Pwn2Own
'Technically impressive' exploit of IE8 bypasses DEP, ASLR on Windows 7 at hacking contest
Hacker busts IE8 on Microsoft Windows 7 in just two minutes Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 offers hands-off control of your computer Sprint stops ad claim of 'most dependable 3G network' after Verizon complains VMware, Citrix struggle with 'bare-metal' desktop delays Malware attack uses China World Expo guise Mozilla discloses more Firefox flaws
Computerworld - Hackers took down Apple's iPhone and Safari browser, Microsoft's Internet Explore 8 (IE8) and Mozilla's Firefox within minutes at today's Pwn2Own contest, as expected.
The two-man team of Vincenzo Iozzo and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann exploited the iPhone in under five minutes, said a spokeswoman for 3Com TippingPoint, the security company that sponsored the contest. The pair also walked away with $15,000 in cash, a record prize for the challenge, which is in its fourth year.

Here's a link to Peter Vreugdenhil's exploits. Not a specific "How to" guide before anyone gets overly excited. It's very interesting none-the-less and it only took him 2 minutes!

I really wish they would have tested IE9...but not being released yet means they won't...because pre-release versions of something are just that, unfinished and not ready for prime-time.
