So not the "last line of defense"?
- Filligree 4y agoIt can reasonably be described as such. The headline implies that previous lines of defense have also been broken, which isn't the case.
- gruturo 4y agoIt is. It's just that compromising the last line of defense, without compromising the ones which come before it, is not the end of the world. It's like if I could wave a magnet over your encrypted backup tapes, ruining your restore capability, but without having any ability to affect your production and DR sites. You'd rather it didn't happen, but you are still up and even have redundancy.
- tester756 4y ago>is not the end of the world. today, how many years it took the theory to be applied in "real world" with other cpu vulns
- rs_rs_rs_rs_rs 4y agoI don't think you understand this vulnerability. This will not become Spectre-like in 10 years from now. The impact will be the same as it is today.
- tester756 4y agoSorry, I meant chaining vulns, once they do appear
- rc_mob 4y agolol. apparently the article title is "technically the truth"
