Chipocalypse Now: Processor Design Flaw Affects Billions of Devices
Intel and other chipmakers are in the hot seat after a major flaw was revealed in processors used in billions of devices. Russell Brandom, Reporter at The Verge, was with us to break down the latest developments in the cybersecurity scare.
After taking a backseat following news of chip design flaws that impacted billions of devices, Apple has finally spoken up, revealing all Mac systems and iOS devices are affected. Most big tech companies, including Google and Amazon, responded promptly to the security threat. Brandom says disclosure about these kind of issues is tricky, but adds that companies must have fixes for the flaws when they make the official announcement in order to prevent attackers from compromising the devices.
Brandom says the biggest impact of the flaw won't be seen on your phone or laptop. He’s most worried about the impact on cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud.
