Many people may remember Charlie Miller from last year's event where he successfully hacked a MacBook and was able to take control over it within seconds, walking away with the MacBook and the grand prize. Charlie Miller once again successfully hacked the fully patched MacBook by exploiting a security vulnerability in Safari, Apple's web browser. The hack was accomplished by the team clicking on a link that took control of the machine within seconds.
