Is this the bitlocker backdoor? That's not an exploit / zeroday

Thats making a backdoor be known.

    Well the thing is it’s now been zero days since they had to write a new backdoor.

    They don't need to write a new one, they probably already have more than one built and deployed for the same thing.

    But it's a good idea to get started on another one, so I'm really just complaining about the word 'had' as if it was a requirement.
