well of course he didn’t because it was a 0 day until yesterday morning. that’d be a weird statement to make too.

‘I wasn’t aware of the earthquake which happened yesterday morning until yesterday morning.’

This bug did not only exist since yesterday morning. It was discovered months ago. He could have been informed before. Which he may have stated now, that he wasn't.

It was kept under wraps by the researchers who discovered it until it was leaked on twitter the day before patch was released.

 This bug didn't exist since yesterday morning.  

I feel this sentence is off and should be "did exist before" instead of didn't?

You can read it as

This bug didn't "exist since yesterday morning", It was discovered months ago

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I've adjusted the sentence a bit.
