If a few months ago we did not have enough with the security problem that had been detected in all devices that use WPA encryption in recent years and that turned the industry almost upside down, we have started 2018 with an even more serious problem of security that it affects almost all Intel processors.
These security problems have turned the technology sector upside down. Almost any computer managed by an Intel processor, be it a home computer or a server, can be affected. As is usual, the first interested in taking advantage of this new vulnerability are hackers, but to try to avoid it, The main manufacturers are already releasing the corresponding temporary patches to solve this big problem.
But if you are not one of the lucky ones who has already received it and you have a computer with one of the processors that we detail below and that Intel has posted on its website, you should be aware of any update from the software manufacturer, to install it as soon as possible. This listing is for Intel products only. If you have an AMD, ARM, Qualcomm or any other processor, initially You should not be affected by this vulnerability.
