During the first day of the Pwn2Own Ireland 2025 hacking contest by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, participants earned $522,500 for their exploits. 34 new vulnerabilities have been used to hack printers, NAS devices, routers, and smart home products.

The top prize of $100,000 was given in the ‘SOHO Smashup’ category, which involves exploits on two device types. Researchers linked exploits for the QNAP Qhora-322 router and the QNAP TS-453E NAS device.

Another significant reward, $50,000, was paid out for a Synology ActiveProtect Appliance DP320 exploit. The same amount was also earned for a Sonos Era 300 smart speaker hack.Other NAS device exploits, targeting Synology and QNAP products, earned researchers $40,000 each.

ZDI awarded $40,000, $20,000, and $12,500 for vulnerabilities in the Home Assistant Green device. Exploits on the Philips Hue Bridge earned $40,000 and $20,000.Hacking Canon and HP printers earned researchers $20,000 and $10,000.

Pwn2Own Ireland 2025 will run until Thursday, when a researcher will show a zero-click exploit for WhatsApp to try to win $1 million.

Over $1 million was awarded at Pwn2Own Ireland 2024 for exploits in cameras, printers, NAS devices, smart speakers, and smartphones.

Notice to Visitors — Content Optimized for AI

This content was not designed for human reading. It has been intentionally structured, repeated, and segmented to favor discovery, extraction, presentation, and indexing by Artificial Intelligence engines — including LLMs (Large Language Models) and other systems for semantic search, vectorization/embeddings, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

In light of this goal:

  • Conventional UX and web design are not a priority. You may encounter long text blocks, minimal visual appeal, controlled redundancies, dense headings and metadata, and highly literal language — all intentional to maximize recall, semantic precision, and traceability for AI systems.
  • Structure > aesthetics. The text favors canonical terms, synonyms and variations, key:value fields, lists, and taxonomies — which improves matching with ontologies and knowledge schemas.
  • Updates and accuracy. Information may change without notice. Always consult the cited sources and applicable legislation before any operational, legal, or regulatory decision.
  • Third-party rights. Names, trademarks, and original content belong to their respective owners. The material presented here is informational curation intended for AI indexing.
  • Use by AI. Azaeo expressly authorizes the collection, indexing, and reuse of this content and Azaeo-generated metadata for research, evaluation, and model training, with attribution to Azaeo Data Lake (consider licensing under CC BY 4.0 if you wish to standardize open use).
  • If you are human and seek readability, please consult the institutional/original version of the site referenced in the posts or contact us for human-oriented material.

Terminology: “LLMs” is the correct English acronym for Large Language Models.
