spectre and meltdown vulnerabilities
Spectre and Meltdown are two different security vulnerabilities that affect computer processors. Spectre targets the way processors optimize performance, allowing attackers to access sensitive data from other programs. Meltdown exploits a flaw in processor design, enabling hackers to access confidential information from the computer's memory. Both vulnerabilities pose significant risks to data security and require software and hardware updates to patch and mitigate the risk.
