That's not at all what a 0-day means, it just means a previously unknown vulnerability. We've never seen a ransomware attack anywhere close to as sophisticated at Stuxnet. This latest attack is nothing new and is only affecting people who haven't kept their systems up to date.
- dijit 9y agoI understand that this is not what it means. But generally speaking when an article says "0-day malware" it usually ends up meaning that no human involvement is needed. Please don't assume I don't know what 0-day actually means. I chose my words carefully as not not imply that I was saying the definition of the term.
