        The comment at the bottom of the article nailed it for me.

        " On June 28th you publish a zero day warning attack that happened on the 22nd and was controlled on the 23rd... Yes it is a proof that MS is also vulnerable through people's lack of awareness, but it is not a zero day vulnerability 5 days after it was controlled... It is a lesson worth knowing for sure but it is under control.."

          Is this actually a Zero Day? or is this just that a malware scanner isn't picking up an infection? or both?

            What really is a zero day? It's mostly a marketing term.

              I mean, glad I know about it now, but honestly, the only comment on the article is correct.

              That's like saying,

              Oh watch out the forest fire is coming this way, when its already past, but avoided your house by only a few feet. And was already contained in a tiny area*.
