Intel processors vulnerable to more data theft attacks – TechRadar

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a new vulnerability in Intel CPUs that makes them vulnerable to side-channel attacks.
Examining Intels CPU ring interconnects, the trio, doctoral student Riccardo Paccagnella, master’s student Licheng Luo, and assistant professor Christopher Fletcher, discovered that the rings can be exploited for malicious purposes.
It is the first attack to exploit contention on the cross-core interconnect of Intel CPUs,” Paccagnella told The Register,…
