FTA AMD confirms nothing. It just states that the company believes it's not vulnerable to the SPOILER vulnerability due to AMD's processor architecture. Mods, could you please fix the title? Not only does the article confirm nothing but it's also specific to a single vulnerabilty.

"doesn't have the vulnerability" is an unfalsifiable claim, so the onus is on researchers to prove that it does have the vulnerability.

  You mean "unprovable". It's falsified when someone finds a way to exploit the vulnerability.

    Ah, indeed. Thanks for correction.

Unfortunately the actual page's title is simply `SPOILER', so I did my best given the HN guidelines on titles. The mod-updated title also seems fair to me.

  The very first sentence of the article is: "We are aware of the report of a new security exploit called SPOILER (...)"

    I previously tried to post it with the exploit name included but it didn't show up on HN when I was logged out, neither did it show with a (dead) or (dupe) flag. I thus assumed that 'SPOILER' triggered a key word spam filter.
