Spectre

After causing headaches three years ago, Spectre is back to harass hardware and steal data. This time around, ways to combat the attacks are few and not ideal.

Researchers have discovered a new vulnerability in Intel processors that, similar to last year's Meltdown and Spectre attacks, could allow hackers to access sensitive data on millions of PCs.

Researchers have discovered a new way to exploit the Spectre vulnerability on modern CPUs remotely, but existing mitigations should keep systems that have already been patched safe.

A new variant of the Meltdown and Spectre flaws has been found, but previous software patches may provide enough protection for most.

Intel now says that it won't patch some older chips against the Spectre variant 2 flaw.

Microsoft has kicked off a new bug bounty programs for speculative execution side channel vulnerabilities.

Intel is going down to the hardware level to guard against Spectre with its upcoming processors.

With March's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft has expanded coverage of its Meltdown and Spectre software fixes to more versions of Windows.

In an update on its efforts to combat Spectre and Meltdown, Microsoft says it is now starting to distribute microcode updates from Intel.

Intel's updated microcode intended to guard against Spectre is now available to its OEM partners.
