Security Threats and Attacks #5

Closed nathanmay-securestrux closed 3 years ago

1.i.b Discusses OS attacks. One line states that unpatched operating systems can allow for zero days. If they are vulnerable due to a known issue that has a patch, it is not a zero day. Clarification is necessary to avoid confusion for new learners.

Hi @nathanmay-securestrux,

Thanks for pointing it out and your contribution. You're right. I updated the notes to clarify better what zero day is, also changed the example of a risk with unpatched systems to a different and interesting one 😊
