Software developers have no clue about its existence and have no patch to fix it. This is why, when a zero-day attack is detected, it needs to be mitigated immediately. In other words, there are “zero days” to fix vulnerability because it’s already been exploited. Here, we’re zeroing in on the zero-day concept, including just what is a zero-day exploit, and how to avoid them. 1.
