The “Tianfu Cup”, or TFC (International Cracking Competition), is China's largest hacking competition. Aims at creation of a new "Pwn2Own" community in China, because in the spring of 2018, the Chinese government banned the country's security researchers from participating in hacker competitions held abroad, such as Pwn2Own.
The Tianfu Cup 2021, took place on Saturday 16 and today Sunday 17 October. The prize for the winners of this year's competition was $ 1,5 million.
So this year on October 16, 2021, a team managed to hack Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 in less than 5 minutes. The hack was done through a 0day vulnerability that is not patched with the latest ones updates of Exchange Server (October 2021).
But the stars of the competition were the PangU team who managed to crack one iPhone 13 Pro (με iOS 15.x) την πρώτη ημέρα.
The team managed to demonstrate a remote jailbreak and received a prize of $ 320.000.
On Day 2 of the TFC 2021 competition, an iPhone 13 Pro was hacked within 15 seconds via a remote execution code in the program tours Safari by the Kunlun Lab team.
As for you who are waiting for a jailbreak, it is unlikely to be released by the Pangu team to the general public.
But it's important because it proves that Apple's latest platform is not as robust, despite what some security researchers in the community said when they argued that Apple's new operating system would make jailbreaking much more difficult.
