Modern security technology in Intel processors not watertight
(WorldNews Belgium)

Technology giant Intel has been including an innovative security method in its processors for a number of years. This method works as a vault for your personal data. However, KU Leuven researchers have shown that the system can, in fact, be hacked using the Foreshadow attack. What`s more, information processed in cloud systems also seems to be vulnerable to this kind of attack. Intel will be releasing patches and updates to resolve the flaw in millions of processors. Computer systems are made up of different layers, making them very complex. Every layer also contains millions of lines of computer code. As this code is still written manually, the risk for...
