Virtually everything we do here involves HIPAA-sensitive information,
but we have very robust perimeter defenses. I'm much more concerned
about a potential 30%+ performance loss in systems that are
constantly used by nearly a hundred people every day.
The exploit allows VMs to go into the memory space of other VMs.
Very bad. Unless you don't have any sensitive info that needs to
stay that way.

I just can't wait to see what it's going to do to my highly

smaller version of what it's already started to do to some commercial
cloud systems.
