A piece of recently installed software at Crucial Technologies was compromised. After an investigation, the security team determines that attackers exploited the vulnerability before the vendor even knew it existed or had released a patch. What is this kind of attack called?
Zero-day attack
Brute-force attack
Insider threat
On-path attack
The correct answer is zero-day attack. A zero-day attack takes advantage of a vulnerability that is unknown to the vendor or developer, so no fix or mitigation yet exists.
