Calling that a zero day is a stretch since it requires a lot of user interaction and is local only. It is not that scary of a bug.

- detaro 6y agonothing in the definition of "zero day" requires a bug to be "scary".
- dumbfounder 6y agoYou are right, but to most people that term seems very scary. Most people don't know what zero day means, and so putting it in the title invokes doomsday type visions for a lot of people.
- detaro 6y agoMost people that don't know what it means also aren't reading Krebs' blog. I feel like different expectations apply here than on a mainstream publication - where not using it in the title or immediately clarifying/reiterating the definition would be appropriate.
