Zero-Day Explained: The Invisible War Between Hackers and Developers

What if there was a secret master key that could unlock millions of digital doors, and only a handful of people knew it existed? That's a "zero-day"—a hidden flaw in the software we use every day. From the moment it's discovered, a silent, high-stakes race begins between those who would weaponize it and those scrambling to fix it.

Welcome to "Zero-Day to Mainstream." In this episode, we reveal the secret lifecycle of a software vulnerability. You'll follow a flaw's journey from its discovery by an ethical hacker, to its weaponization by cybercriminals, and finally, to the frantic global effort to create and deploy a patch. We'll decode the jargon (what is a CVE?), explore the murky world of the zero-day market, and understand the race against time that determines the safety of our digital world. How secure is the software you're using right now?
