DAY Two of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 ran from 9:30 to 19:30 IST on 7 October 2026, with 24 total attempts and roughly $780,000 up for grabs. The schedule highlighted multiple devices across categories, including three separate attempts on Samsung’s Galaxy S26 (two by Valsamaras/Ken Gannon and one by Kyeongmin Kim, plus PetoWorks later), five attempts on Home Assistant Green, four on AI Infrastructure (Dynamo, two at Chroma, two at Oracle’s Autonomous AI Database), and three attempts on Lexmark CX532adwe printers. The organisers noted that yesterday’s day-one results yielded $388,500 from 32 unique 0-days.
Results published for the day show a mixed picture. Yves Bieri of Xint succeeded in a Home Assistant Green takedown, securing $30,000 and 3 Master of Pwn points in #Pwn2Own. In contrast, the printers category proved troublesome for Thanh Do of Team Confused, who failed to compromise the Brother MFC-L8970CDW. A final attempt by Eugene in the AI Infrastructure category at Chroma ended just seconds before the window closed, also resulting in a failure. The post emphasises ongoing activity and the evolving landscape of exploits across devices in this year’s event.
