Modern memory chips increasingly vulnerable to this physical hacking technique – Techradar

New research by Google engineers reveals that attacks based on the physical memory hacking technique known as Rowhammer are now more plausible thanks to recent improvements in the design of modern DRAM memory chips
.
The Rowhammer hack works by manipulating the electrical charge in modern memory chips. The repeated hammering to one row of transistors results in the flipping of values in the adjacent rows. 
First revealed in 2014, Googles Project Zero released a working privilege-escalation exploit…
