spectre and meltdown comin, close your trading accounts before apocalypse
Explain pls. Why close trading accounts ? I thought OS' were imminently releasing patches to mitigate this.
It’s a hardware issue. Software can’t fix hardware issues. It’s also overblown.
Indeed. It seems a bit like the Y2K bug panic to me.
Sure theoretically it is possible to exploit the speculative execution security bug but it is still much easier for attackers to try to install keyloggers remotely, or Windows mallware such as what happened with the NHS attack in the UK or setup a callcentre in India pretending to be Microsoft and phone random people and getting them to pay for unnecessary support or pretend to be from GoDaddy and phone new domain owners getting them to pay for unnecessary "domain activation" or even try to get them to give up their BTC wallet private keys or attacking crypto exchanges directly.
