A piece of recently installed software at Crucial Technologies was compromised. After doing research, it is discovered that the software was exploited before the vendor is aware of the vulnerability. What is this kind of attack called?
Insider threat
Brute-force attack
Dictionary attack
Zero-day attack
On-path attack
The answer is a zero-day attack. A zero-day attack is one that exploits a vulnerability before it is known and any mitigation attacks have been issued from the vendor. Insider threat is not a type of attack while the other choices aren’t attacking a vulnerability in the system.
