Maddie Stone

Maddie Stone is a security researcher whose public work has covered mobile and browser vulnerabilities, exploit chains and the defense implications of in-the-wild exploitation. She has been associated with Google’s Project Zero research team.

Evidence-led disclosure

Project Zero publications document technical findings, affected software and mitigations. This kind of work is valuable because it gives defenders concrete evidence about attacker tradecraft while emphasizing repair and hardening rather than merely reproducing an exploit.

Public communication

Stone has also presented security research to professional audiences, helping make complex vulnerability classes legible to engineers and defenders.
