"Zero-day exploits are code vulnerabilities and loopholes that are unknown to software vendors, security researchers and the public. The term 'zero day' originates from the time remaining for a software vendor to patch buggy code. With zero days - or zero hours - to respond, developers are vulnerable to attack and have no time to patch the code and block the hole. One bug can give hackers enough access to explore and map internal networks, exfiltrate valuable data and find other attack vectors." Recent research found that, alongside financial implications, ransomware's impact could include heart attacks, strokes and PTSD. A ransomware attack is a form of data theft attack, and encrypting is not the only thing that attackers can do when they successfully obtain access to the data.

Google has fixed a Chrome zero-day vulnerability, an exploit for which exists in the wild."Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights," CIS explains.
Google has released a security update for the Chrome browser to fix the fifth zero-day vulnerability exploited in the wild since the start of the year. This latest flaw addressed in Google Chrome is the fifth this year, with three others discovered during the March 2024 Pwn2Own hacking contest in Vancouver.
Security flaws in Telit Cinterion cellular modems, widely used in sectors including industrial, healthcare, and telecommunications, could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via SMS. A set of eight separate issues, seven of them with identifiers CVE-2023-47610 through CVE-2023-47616 and another that has yet to be registered, were disclosed last November by security researchers at Kaspersky's ICS CERT division. On Saturday, at the OffensiveCon conference in Berlin, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko will be providing low level technical details about the security issues and how a threat actor could exploit them to take control of vulnerable Telit Cinterion devices.
