Hack an iPhone 11 PRO with iOS 14 in just 10 seconds
The Tianfu Cup, the most famous hacker competition in China, was held last weekend. 16 hardware and software systems were put to the test and many of them were hacked in a matter of minutes.
Those who resisted the hacks include neither "our" iPhone nor "our" iOS 14. Those who resisted the attacks of these geniuses were Microsoft Edge , VMware Workstation and Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 .
We remember that in China hacker competitions are a real spectacle. There is a whole religion.
They manage to hack an iPhone 11 PRO with iOS 14:
This year's Tianfu Cup International Cyber Security Contest offered more than 1.2 million dollars in prizes.
The challenge of the competition was to hack 16 hardware and software platforms, which were: Microsoft Edge , Chrome , Safari , Firefox , Adobe PDF Reader , Docker – CE , VMware Workstation , VMware ESXi , Ubuntu + qemu- kvm , iPhone 11 Pro + iOS 14 , Samsung Galaxy 20 , Windows 10 2004 , Ubuntu 20/CentOS 8 , Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 , TP-Link WDR7660 , and ASUS Router AX86U .
There is a cash prize for each hack, depending on its difficulty.
13 out of 16 systems were hacked. These discovered security flaws have already been communicated to the companies so that they solve them and, possibly, in the next updates of iOS 14 those holes will be corrected.

The winning team of the event was the 360 Enterprise Security and Government and (ESG) Vulnerability Research Institute , which belongs to the tech giant Qihoo 360 . He took almost all the loot, $744,500.
This same team and the Ant-Financial Light-Year Security Lab , were the ones that managed to hack the iPhone 11 PRO with iOS 14in just 10 seconds. As a result, both teams received a total of $180,000 in prize money.
For this kind of thing, whenever an update comes out, it's good to update as soon as possible. To close potential security holes.
Greetings.
