Intel is up 22% over the past year. He warned that this should protect users for now, but the fact that malicious actors will continue to find ways to exploit the Meltdown and Spectre flaws "make it clear that CPU architecture decisions need to be rethought". Between them, they subject nearly every computing device to snooping and data thefts.
It appears that the log-in block is sporadic, and many are reporting that they can get into the game perfectly fine at random moments. Fortnite isn't the only game that will be affected by this Meltdown either, we'll keep you posted on any other major reported outages. However, it seems they were forced to go public about it earlier than planned, leaving companies rushing to find a fix before it became a real problem.
Google engineers announced on Wednesday that there were two main issues with Intel's chips. Especially when CEO of a big tech company sells of $24 million worth of shares and shortly after a month a massive security flaw shows up on the surface. But in this case, Intel was forced to disclose the problem Wednesday after British technology site The Register reported it, causing Intel's stock to fall.
The severity of the bug is not limited to its scope.
So far, nobody has seen the flaws exploited in the wild. One was christened "Meltdown", and the other, "Spectre". The flaws affect modern processors including Intel, AMD and ARM that use "speculative execution" to enhance performance. Spectre, meanwhile, apparently can not be fixed with a software update.

First Horizon National Corporation (FHN)- Stocks Showing Promising Performance Assessment
Moreover, Calamos Advisors Limited Company has 0.15% invested in First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN) for 985,161 shares. The regular trading started at $20.14 but as the trading evolved, the stock receded, finishing the session with a gain of 0.1%.
Intel said by the end of next week it expects to have issued updates for more than 90 per cent of processor products introduced within the past five years.
The bugs also affect cloud-computing services powering much of the internet. That's great news for anyone using Google services that run on Google's cloud. "KPTI" has been deployed to the entire fleet of Google Linux production servers that support all of our products, including Search, Gmail, YouTube and Google Cloud Platform, the company said in a statement. The widespread attention to this "speculative execution"-style attack is forcing companies to put out patches to protect their consumers".
"As soon as we learned of this new class of attack, our security and product development teams mobilized to defend Google's systems and our users' data". "Fully removing the vulnerability requires replacing vulnerable CPU hardware".
That's not to say nothing can be done.
Apple confirmed on Friday that its iPads, iPhones and Macs are affected by both Spectre and Meltdown, but it has already taken steps to protect users of iOS 11, MacOS and its latest Apple TV software from the flaw. Microsoft has already issued a patch for its operating system, and others will be following suit. Mozilla says it's also implementing a short-term mitigation that disables some capabilities of its Firefox browser.
Android users can accept the automatic security updates provided by device makers and reboot the devices. "Of course, smartphone vendors can update software to fix the problem, but the move is expected to dent the performance of devices". "If you aren't up to date, then there's a lot of other nasties out there you should probably also be worrying about".
