Emptys brought security to billions of computers

Computers, smartphones or servers are running out of microprocessor. The technology branch is working intensively to ensure that computers, smartphones and servers are safe.

Touched by gaps in the security system are generations of microprocessors (chips) to computers, screens and servers-clud. Experts have discovered gaps in the security system, after which attackers can gain access to and senses. Professional hackers and those paid by information technology companies demonstrate, that it is possible to create access to the password system, make-up-euros or use software information.

The dobt point is the so-called “particularization <xecuation”. After this process of microprocessors, they can investigate in advance information that may be needed later, to avoid delays in their actual search for information. This technician for years. It's a measure of linked computers that are theoretically dangerous. Experts state that they are not aware of this gap that computer security is being used. But the consisting is an impossible fact, because such attacks would not leave a trace, add experts.

Security gaps are known by producers. But it's just now this weak point has become public. The affected are mainly the giants of this Intel branch and its competition AMD. Their procedures are located in billions of machines.

“Celular, The PC, it may all be cut off, but the consequences from product to product can be different”, said Intel chief Brian Krzanic on CNBC television.

It has long been working with other firms for a solution, Intel confirmed. Execution of software can shut down this security gap.

These measures on the devices of the vacuum in the security system can negatively affect the capacity of the processors, Intel admitted, but in many cases it can be completely alone 2%, and for the consumer of habit it almost doesn't fall into sight at all. The first reports on this problem told them that the impact of capacities could reach 30 percent. This problem could be theoretically worrying about servers, which cross many ways.

Intel doesn't believe, which could be abused by this security weakness. Intel and ARM stress, we don't have a mistake in designing processes. ARM, processors who dominate smartphones, confirmed that its products are sensitive to an attack of this kind. The ARM said that software-patches were communicated to the producers of mobile phones and clients. The processor's designer, AMD, tells him his processors are affected.

Intel stock courses

A fact of communication with this problem was planned on January 9th. But taking action precedes after spreading news, that processors are not safe.

The rate of stake in the Intel concert fell, so the venture was forced to drop down the invalid “information”, explaining that we have a problem altogether.

Google: Smartphones with “Android” are protected

The giants of closed Google, Microsoft and Amazon declare that their services provide them with the actualisation of the products. Google said that its smartphones, Nexus and Pixel, were protected because of the actualization of the last one. That's also about the mobile phones of other producers with Google's Android system. Even Gmail workers don't touch. While all other systems to install actualization systems are required. / DW
