Google has announced a whopping $3 million prize for its third Pwnium hacking competition. Unlike the last two years, this year's edition will focus on Chrome OS rather than the Chrome browser.The prize money for the event is $3.14159 million (approx Rs 17 crore), to be precise, and the contest will be held in Vancouver on March 7. The Mountain View company said on its Chromium blog that since Chrome is already featured in the larger Pwn2Own competition, Pwnium 3 will focus on the Chrome OS. Google has been pushing the Chrome OS to OEMs in the light of flagging Windows PC sales.
