ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
the unseen story of the cyberweapons market--the world's most covert, invisible, government-backed market--and a chilling glimpse of a new type of global conflict

A zero-day vulnerability is a software flaw that allows a hacker to gain access to your devices and roam around unnoticed. A zero-day is one of the most desired tools in a spy's armory, with the ability to covertly spy on your iPhone, disable safety measures at a chemical plant, sway an election, and take down the power grid (just ask Ukraine).
Under the guise of classification levels and non-disclosure agreements, the US government became the world's leading hoarder of zero-days for decades. Hackers willing to sell their lock-picking code and their silence were paid top dollar--first thousands, then millions--by US government operatives.
The US then lost control of its stockpile and the market.
