Security administrator for your organization utilized a heuristic system to detect an anomaly in a desktop computer's baseline. The admin was able to detect an attack even though the signature-based IDS and antivirus software did not detect it. Upon further review, it appears that the attacker had downloaded an executable file on the desktop computer from a USB port, and executed it triggering a privilege escalation. What type of attack has occurred?

Zero day

Explanation:

Zero day attack is the term used to describe the threat of an unknown security vulnerability in a computer software or application for which either the patch has not been released or the application developers were unaware of or did not have sufficient time to address.
