Few are paying attention to Spectre and Meltdown; but the computer industry is freaking, freaking, out.
"This is a vulnerability that has existed for more than 20 years in modern processor architectures like Intel, AMD and ARM across servers, desktops and mobile devices." quote from: https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/03/cloud-infrastructure-vendors-begin-responding-to-chip-kernel-vulnerability/
Who knew? Speculative Execution!!!
Intel is not exactly comforting when they say, "Well, it's not just ours"; [paraphrased] . . . rather juvenile.

But it's true. Even Apple admits they are vulnerable.
