Just a heads up. I guess a lot of you already know more about this than I do, but I thought I'd share for the sake of the rest.
Apparently there's a bug in Intel CPUs since the Pentium Pro. It's also possible it will affect AMD and ARM (Android Phone) CPUs. Windows & Linux are both affected, and probably Mac OS because it runs on top of a flavor of Unix. It's not panic time yet, because an attacker has to get you to run a malicious code before he can get into your system. But, you should step up your vigilance against phishing & other malware. Here's what Google's security blog has to say about it: https://security.googleblog.com/2018/01/todays-cpu-vulnerability-what-you-need.html Good luck ... and if I'm not back in three days, notify the American Embassy. 8^) -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
