Google giving $350,000 in prizes to hack Nexus 6P and 5X

Google has set aside at least $350,000 for its Project Zero Prize contest, and to win part of that prize pot, you'll have to hack a Nexus 6P and a 5X, Engadget reports.

To win the contest, participants are required to dig up vulnerabilities that can be exploited remotely – by sending a text message or an email, for instance. The big G says it hopes to discover new bugs from the contest.

If you get top prize once the contest ends in six months' time, you can take home $200,000. You'll get $100,000 for second prize, and some $50,000 for third.
