The PWNIE Awards turned 10 years old this year and perhaps the most surprising thing was that nobody won for Epic Fail for 2016. Could it be that it was just too hard to top the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) hack of last year?
Hard to say, but the award winners this year range from the best in security research out of the IEEE to the whimsy of the Best Song category.
Here's a look at this year’s winners as well as links to their research.
"Oddly enough this one category stumped us. Seems like everyone won at security this past year. Either that, or there were not enough good entries in this category." -- The Pwnie Awards
