Google’s Project Zero security research team, dedicated to making zero-day exploits hard, has revealed that 2021 was a record-breaking year.
In all, across multiple platforms, Project Zero detected and disclosed some 58 ‘in-the-wild’ zero-days. That’s record breaker number one right there. But Project Zero’s Maddie Stone has also confirmed that the number of such exploits against Chromium, which is the power behind web browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Brave, was also record-breaking at 14.
