It's basically demo day for browser (and other software) vulnerabilities. Hackers show off their exploits and vendors pay them cash for disclosing them at Pwn2Own instead of selling them on the blackmarket.

They used to sell the hacker, but since they've stopped Pwn2Own is much more popular.

Surely there are 13th amendment concerns with selling the hacker.

Do you mean that they used to sell the exploits to other hackers at Pwn2Own?
