Google Mandiant security analysts warn of a worrying new trend of threat actors demonstrating a better capability to discover and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in software.

Specifically, of the 138 vulnerabilities disclosed as actively exploited in 2023, Mandiant says 97 (70.3%) were leveraged as zero-days.

This means that threat actors exploited the flaws in attacks before the impacted vendors knew of the bugs existence or had been able to patch them.

This is actually fantastic news it means people are patching their shit and now TA's have to spend significant resource finding new methods. For the gen pop this is good news. For nation state targets less so but thats a much smaller pool of victims.
