Chrome is generally perceived as a secure browser and has usually performed well when confronted with hack attacks at CanSecWest. As usual, Google prepped the browser with more than a dozen last-minute fixes just prior to the hacking contest, but that did not save Chrome from two successful cracks. Security expert Sergey Glazunov compromised Chrome's sandbox with a zero-day exploit. He won Google's Pwnium prize for a full Chrome exploit under Windows 7 and collected $60,000 reward. Security company Vupen was also successful in cracking Chrome shortly after Glazunov had announced his exploit.
