Last year, we saw 11 critical zero-days in just 2 days at our cloud hacking competition. This year, AI is raising the bar. ZeroDay.cloud/2026 is back with harder targets and bigger bounties. I have a feeling this one’s going to be wild 👀
Think you (& your AI) got what it takes to find critical vulns? We @wiz_io + @AWScloud + @MSFTsecurity + @GoogleCloud are coming back with ZeroDay.cloud 2026 🚀 Find critical vulns, get paid from our $6.5M prize pool 👉 zeroday.cloud/2026

Haven't touched Android research in 5 years, but Android and I just became friends again 🤝. Reported a cool 3-vulnerability chain going from untrusted -> root. AI had a major impact on this chain, more info about that soon.

Sandboxing is more important than ever. Exactly why we put a $200k bounty on a Firecracker/gVisor escape on ZeroDay.Cloud/2026
We’ve confirmed a KVM 0day through our Vercel Sandbox bounty program. Affecting the industry’s gold standard solution for Linux virtualization. 2026 is wild! Thankful to Paulos and other researchers helping us make the most secure sandbox for agents. Full writeup coming.

The most severe cloud vulnerability I’ve ever seen. This research was assisted by an early version of Atlas, our AI vulnerability researcher. Expect more from Atlas soon 😉
We (+@liormama) gained full access to EVERY database on Azure's flagship DB service 🤯 And all we needed was a single key 🔑 This is the story of #CosmosEscape 🧵👇
