Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zero-day attacks exploit vulnerabilities in software or systems before a patch or fix is available, making them extremely difficult to defend against. They can be carried out in a stealthy manner and often involve the use of malware. Indefensible is not a commonly used term in the context of vulnerability-based attacks.
