Trends On Zero-Days Exploited In-The-Wild In 2023
Google News, Wednesday, March 27th, 2024
Combined data from Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) and Mandiant shows 97 zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited in 2023; a big increase over the 62 zero-day vulnerabilities identified in 2022, but still less than 2021's peak of 106 zero-days.
This finding comes from the first-ever joint zero-day report by TAG and Mandiant. The report highlights 2023 zero-day trends, with focus on two main categories of vulnerabilities. The first is end user platforms and products such as mobile devices, operating systems, browsers, and other applications. The second is enterprise-focused technologies such as security software and appliances.
