A. Hacktivist
B. White hat

While it is possible that any type of attacker might engage in a zero-day attack, it is most likely to find these vulnerabilities exploited by an advanced persistent threat (APT). APT attackers are more likely to have the technical resources to discover and use zero-day vulnerabilities.
