Meltown and Spectre - very critical vulnerabilities in almost all computer processors  [11.01.18]

Security researchers at the University of Graz and Google Inc. have discovered several major security gabs in processors. The vulnerabilities allow attackers to gain access to all data on a computer, not just sensitive data such as passwords, user data, or sensitive information.

The vulnerabilities are due to a significant vulnerability in the design of computer processors and can only be resolved by updates of the hardware and software manufacturers.
