Intel’s Hot Water: Lawsuit Over CPU Vulnerabilities
Intel faces a class action lawsuit over CPU vulnerabilities, particularly the ‘Downfall’ attack. Plaintiffs argue that the CPUs are “defective”, causing slower performance or leaving PCs exposed to cyberattacks. They seek the greater of actual damages or statutory damages of $10,000 per plaintiff.

No, they're facing a class action lawsuit over speculative execution vulnerabilities, with a particular focus on the recent 'Downfall' attack. I mean, talk about an aptly named vulnerability. It's like naming your dog 'Bitey' and then being surprised when he chews up the furniture. Apparently, these vulnerabilities can slow down performance or leave PCs exposed to cyberattacks. The plaintiffs are calling Intel's CPUs "defective", which is a bit like calling the Titanic 'a bit wet'.Already a member? Log in here
