When hackers look for zero-day flaws to exploit and gain a foothold on the target endpoint, they usually look at either Microsoft, Google, or Apple products, according to a new report from cybersecurity researchers Mandiant which claims of the major zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited last year, most targeted the big three.
Zero-days are flaws that have not yet been discovered by security researchers, hence IT teams have had zero days to patch their systems up. As such, they’re every hacker’s most prizer possession as abusing it triggers no alarms.
