Within the framework of the competition, Team Viettel Cyber ​​Security successfully exploited three targets: 1. NVIDIA Triton Inference Server - an artificial intelligence system commonly used in industry; 2. Oracle VirtualBox - the leading open source virtualization platform; 3. Microsoft SharePoint - Microsoft's famous data management and enterprise collaboration system.

Achieving a perfect score demonstrates comprehensive security analysis capabilities, rapid update speed with new technology trends, and reflects the depth of research of Viettel's young engineering team; those who are pioneering in new generation security.

In two consecutive years 2023 and 2024, Team Viettel Cyber ​​Security has won the championship at Pwn2Own in the smart device category held in Ireland and Canada.

Pwn2Own is one of the world's most prestigious security exploit competitions, organized annually by the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI). The competition brings together the world's leading research teams, competing in the most complex areas of security technology.

Each Pwn2Own season has its own theme, with Pwn2Own Berlin 2025 focusing on virtualization and enterprise applications, a target group with the lowest successful exploitation rate in years.

Notably, this year's season introduced AI-related goals into the competition system for the first time. Team VCS's successful exploitation of the AI ​​platform in its first participation in this target group not only affirms the team's outstanding capabilities, but also demonstrates Viettel's long-term strategic vision in investing in key security areas in the future.

Team Viettel Cyber ​​Security ranked second overall, behind the champion team from Singapore due to registering fewer targets (3/6 targets). However, the successful exploitation of Microsoft SharePoint (the target considered the most difficult of the season) made a strong impression in the international cybersecurity community.

The success at Pwn2Own Berlin 2025 continues to extend Viettel Cyber ​​Security's international presence at major technology playgrounds, contributing to affirming Vietnam's position as a country with the highest level of security vulnerability research and exploitation capabilities in the world.
