Seems like predicting the future and being secure is mutually exclusive.

But I guess "predicting the future" falls under convenience.

I predict more security vulnerabilities for the foreseeable future. 🙃

Any word yet on active exploits or mitigations?

if this is indeed liek meltdown/specter....Guess who's CPU's are about to get gutted in mitigation fixes.

Depends on how hard it is to actually take advantage of. Spectre and Meltdown, for example, are incredibly difficult to execute, and unless I missed it they have never been exploited in the wild, only in the lab, so I wouldn't be surprised if this never gets "fixed".

Now isn't the next next gen of chips (Zen 5 / Meteor ) supposed to enact per thread data/instruction encryption to prevent this from happening?
