Google Project Zero reported 58 exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in 2021, a record in the short time the team of security researchers has been keeping tabs.
In a year-in-review report on the number instances a zero-day bug has been exploited in the wild, researchers noted the number a twofold jump in detected flaws since 2020. Google said 25 zero-day bugs in 2020 and 2019.
Google said the report highlights the importance of the security industry to take an aggressive approach at making it harder for attackers to exploit zero-day vulnerabilities.
