Google has published the 2021 review of Project Zero, revealing a record amount of zero-days exploits exhibited by some of the world’s largest technology companies.
Google stressed that the record 58 zero-day exploits that were publicly detailed aren’t necessarily an indication of “increased usage of zero-day exploits.” On the contrary, the company ascribes it to the “increased detection and disclosure of these zero-days.” Elsewhere, seven Android zero-days were identified — quite a big jump from the single exploit found in 2019, which incidentally was the only other discovery by the Project Zero team pertaining to Google’s mobile operating system.
To this end, five iOS zero-days were confirmed by Apple, while the first publicly discovered MacOS zero-day was uncovered as well. Windows 11 was also subjected to a zero-day hack after its launch. Microsoft, however, doesn’t pay as handsomely as Apple when it comes to bug discoveries in some cases: Payouts have apparently been reduced to $1,000 from $10,000.
