Pwn2Own, No Winners

Hackers proved unable to break into mobile phones during the CanSecWest Conference Pwn2Own contest. Security experts said the Apple iPhone was the most difficult to crack with the Windows Mobile being the easiest to pwn. The jury's still out on Google Android.

Security experts say mobile devices are riddled with flaws. Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered on all three devices. But the fragmented mobile device market has made it difficult for attackers to make money exploiting mobile device flaws, keeping them relatively safe for now.

And while the market for third-party applications could also put the smart phones at risk, there's just not enough critical mass at the moment to make them an attractive target.
