Intel CPUs Haunted by Spectre: New Vulnerability Sidesteps All Defenses
Intel’s chips have a haunting Spectre that simply won’t die. Despite the tech exorcisms, researchers have conjured a new spell, “InSpectre Gadget,” to extract secrets from the silicon spirits. Beware, your passwords may go “boo!” 🎩👻 #IntelCPUVulnerabilities
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, if it isn't our old frenemy Spectre, back again to haunt Intel's dreams like the ghost of processors past. Just when we thought our CPUs were safe, secure, and snuggly tucked in with their mitigations, along comes the VU Amsterdam crew to pull the cybersecurity blanket right off. They've crafted a shiny new tool named InSpectre Gadget—cue the 80s cartoon theme song—proving that the Spectre vulnerability is the gift that keeps on giving... headaches, that is. It's like whack-a-mole, but the moles are made of critical data, and every time you hit one, your personal information pops out instead of a cute furry head.
