Pwn2Own Ireland 2026

Blog Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 - Day Two Results Day Two of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 has 24 attempts on the docket, with roughly $780,000 up for grabs, running 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM IST. Samsung's Galaxy S26 will be attempted three separate times — by Valsamaras/Ken Gannon (using Djini.ai)/Valsamara at 1:00 PM, Kyeongmin Kim at 3:15 PM, and PetoWorks at 5:30 PM — worth watching since only the first successful demo claims the cash. Home Assistant Green is the day's most-attempted device, with five researchers scheduled to take a run at it. AI Infrastructure stays active with four attempts on tap (Dynamo, two at Chroma, two at Oracle's Autonomous AI Database), Wellness has just one attempt scheduled, and Printers see steady action with three separate attempts on the Lexmark CX532adwe.
