New variants of the Spectre and Meltdown hardware hitting malware that crosses all platforms has been shown in proof of concept form that demonstrates that the proposed hardware fixes will not work as proposed. Deeper and more fundamental changes will most likely have to be made. Very worrisome. —PING! pinging dayglored, ThunderSleeps, and ShadowAce for their ping list attention.

No troll intended here, Sword, but do you know why they would have used a Mac to test the POC? Says in the article the exploit was tested on a Mac. Just curious if Apple’s platform is “better” for this test vs. Windows or Linux.
