A "zero day exploit" is any hack that hasn't ever even been announced to the exploit-fixing security types.

Intelligence agencies (everywhere) save these up to use when they need in somewhere. "Fix Apple security for them? Fuck that, we need to listen in if we want!"

You could regard this as "What the NSA does for a living". Along with the physical tapping of cables, etc.
