What's the big deal? 

Around the world 2018 started out with a bang… and the tech-world was no exception! Two major vulnerabilities (Spectre: CVE-2017-5754, CVE-2017-5753 and Meltdown: CVE-2017-5715) were disclosed. These vulnerabilities affect the underlying hardware found in most of the worlds devices. This includes most phones, tablets, computers and web servers.

It is widely accepted that these vulnerabilities had not been exploited “in the wild” prior to the disclosure. Both Meltdown and Spectre utilize flaws that are physically built into the chips produced by most of the major manufactures. This flaw could potentially allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the memory (RAM) on a system.
