Announcing Pwn2Own Berlin for 2026

Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 will take place May 14-16 with over $1 million in prizes across 31 targets in 10 categories, including newly expanded artificial intelligence categories and increased rewards for Firecracker vulnerabilities. AWS has joined as a co-sponsor, and the competition returns to OffensiveCon after a successful 2025 inaugural event. Registration closes May 7, and the winner will be crowned Master of Pwn with prizes including ZDI reward points, a trophy, and a jacket.

Why it matters: Security researchers and exploit developers should register by May 7 to compete for significant bounties; platform vendors using these targets (Microsoft, VMware, NVIDIA, AWS, browsers, containers, servers) should monitor competition outcomes to understand emerging attack vectors and potential zero-day risks in their products.
