I wrote about Spectre and Meltdown recently: INTEL
took its time to
inform the world! Did it inform the world back in earlier days about
potential flaws? Not to blame INTEL only: What about Zilog, etc.? Or
Yes, of course it did. The famous Pentium FDIV bug comes immediately to mind. Of course
pre-internet days and everything being online all the time security was a whole lot
easier. If you could keep someone out of the building your data was secure. Now a day all
it takes is a bad JS on a site to compromise you...
