Three malware efforts targeting four previously unknown browser flaws that Google recently uncovered and disclosed to the different browser manufacturers are the latest sign of a disturbing spike in zero-day vulnerability activity this year. Two of the attacks are after Chrome issues, one aimed at an Internet Explorer weakness, and the fourth damaged Safari. All four flaws have been addressed. According to Google, three of the exploits seemed to have been built by a commercial monitoring software provider. At least two government-backed threat groups, one of which was Russian, bought the exploits and deployed them in operations before the patches for the issues became available.
