Hackers are not only harmful but also helpful that Google has found on the CanSecWest conference in the event Pwnium. In particular, it allowed the company to learn about the mass of the security holes on Web browser Chrome, which enthusiasts cheerfully, “broke” on a competitive basis. The result was so good that Google has decided to hold another competition of this kind, called Pwnium 2.
