Google is playing catch-up on cybercrime with Project Zero

Project Nothing, huh?

"As a digit, 0 is used as a placeholder in place value systems. In the English language, 0 may be called zero, nought or (US) naught /ˈnɔːt/, nil, or — in contexts where at least one adjacent digit distinguishes it from the letter "O" — oh or o /ˈoʊ/. Informal or slang terms for zero include zilch and zip."

"The word zero came via French zéro from Venetian zero, which (together with cypher) came via Italian zefiro from Arabic صفر, ṣafira = "it was empty", ṣifr = "zero", "nothing"

IMHO there's a major difference in that Microsoft's main work is in fixing exploits in its own software! The bot's mentioned in the article were surely sitting on MS servers.
