‘Zero-click’ hacks are growing in popularity
Not to go all 'Rust Evangelism Strike Force' but almost universally, these exploits leverage memory unsafety somewhere in the stack, usually in a parser of some kind (image, text, etc). The fact that this is still tolerated in our core systems is a pox on our industry. You don't have to use Rust, and it won't eliminate every bug (far from it), but memory safety <i>is not optional</i>.<p>We truly need to work more towards eliminating every memory unsafe language in use today, until then we're fighting a forest fire with a bucket of water.
