Singapore: At this year’s Mobile Pwn2Own event that took place during the Applied Security Conference (PacSec) in Tokyo, Japan, the research arm of global consultancy MWR InfoSecurity - MWR Labs - won two different categories by exclusively demonstrating security flaws in both the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Amazon Fire Phone. One team of researchers from MWR Labs in the UK exploited the Samsung Galaxy S5, enabling them to steal personal details, while another team from MWR Labs in South Africa exposed a remote code execution on the Amazon Fire Phone.
