China continues to lead in government-backed exploitation of zero-day bugs, with 12 vulnerabilities exploited in 2023, up from seven in 2022, according to Google's report. In 2023, Google observed 97 zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in-the-wild, up by 50% from 2022, but still shy of the 2021 record of 106. Attackers are increasingly focusing on third-party components and libraries, which allow them to scale their attacks more effectively.
