This seems like a good reason for IT people to understand OpenBSD better, its motivations and usage patterns, given that it has had only 2 of the worst kind of security holes since ~1996, and therefore seems vastly safer against zero-days, including privilege escalation exploits, etc. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, no? <a href="https://www.openbsd.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.openbsd.org</a> [openbsd.org] .<p>(And corporations & others donating ( <a href="https://www.openbsd.org/donations.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.openbsd.org/donations.html</a> [openbsd.org] ) to the project could also be wise, since they probably all benefit from things that come from the OpenBSD project, like openssh.<p><a href="https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html</a> [openbsd.org]<p>Just a fan.
Title is wrong. The wired title is "Hackers Are Getting Caught Exploiting New Bugs More Than Ever." This is important because if you read the GPZ article you see text like:<p>> While we often talk about “0-day exploits used in-the-wild”, what we’re actually tracking are “0-day exploits detected and disclosed as used in-the-wild”.<p>The GPZ article explicitly says that their findings shouldn't be interpreted as "there is more exploitation" but actually as "we know about more of the exploitation."
