Last week’s story, Scary Chip Flaws Raise Spectre of Meltdown , sought to explain the gravity of these two security flaws present in most modern computers, smartphones, tablets and mobile devices. The bugs are thought to be mainly exploitable in chips made by Intel and ARM , but researchers said it was possible they also could be leveraged to steal data from computers with chips made by AMD .
