Luckily there has been some technical details released about this vulnerability that appears to affect nearly every processor made since 1995. These chips are vulnerable to a severe memory leak flaw that has gotten many a consumer and IT professional in a stir. If you have been following the Information Technology News at all this week, I am sure that you have at least heard of Meltdown and/or Spectre – the Intel chip vulnerabilities that it seems like everyone is talking about. What Are They And How Do They Impact You? When you enter the page, the warning will sit next to the URL in the address bar, but if you try to type in any info, including sensitive data like emails or passwords, the Omnibar will show the “Not Secure” tab in red.Widely Known CPU Vulnerabilities Meltdown and Sprectre affecting Intel, AMD and ARM Are Creating Issues, Discussions and Hype. It can be turned on and off manually with the “chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process” flag.Ĭhrome started by introducing “Not Secure” notification in the Omnibar back in February, and now after a report that 76% of the traffic is secured, the developers decided to go along and mark all http pages as insecure.
