Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 - Day Three Results & Master of Pwn

October 08, 2026

Day Three of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 wrapsup with 17 attempts scheduled, roughly $1.33 million on the board.

The headliner is the Google Pixel 10, which draws three separate attempts: Xint at 11:15 AM, Ikotas Labs at 2:00 PM, and the Valsamaras/Ken Gannon (Djini.ai)/Valsamara team closing things out at 6:30 PM — by far the single biggest payday in play all week. The Samsung Galaxy S26 gets one more run too, from BunkyoWesterns at 4:15 PM. Smart Home stays busy with three attempts on the Philips Hue Bridge Pro and two closing attempts on Home Assistant Green, while AI Infrastructure sees two more shots at Oracle's Autonomous AI Database plus a single run at Chroma. Printers round things out with steady, lower-stakes attempts on the Brother, Canon, and Lexmark targets — and with Team MAMMOTH's 7:00 PM attempt as the last scheduled slot, the Master of Pwn title could still be unsettled heading into the final hour.

Stay tuned for live results as we have them.
