New ZenHammer Attack Bypasses RowHammer Defenses on AMD CPUs

Cybersecurity researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a new variant of the RowHammer DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) attack that, for the first time, successfully works against AMD Zen 2 and Zen 3 systems despite mitigations such as Target Row Refresh (TRR). “This result proves that AMD systems are equally vulnerable to Rowhammer as Intel systems, […]

‘Universal Memory’ Could Be The Perfect Data Storage Device For Your PC

Researchers have developed and patented a new type of computer memory that holds the key to solving the energy crisis that is rising with the progress of digital technology. The new electronic memory device, dubbed as “Universal Memory,” is the perfect storage device that overcomes the limitations of current storage methods with its ultra-low energy […]

Row Hammering Attack On RAM Make It Easier To Hijack Your Computers

Short Bytes: According to a new report, Row hammering is easier to be performed on DRAM using non-temporal instructions to cause bit-flipping and memory leaks. This is so because non-temporal instructions store data on a DRAM chip rather than the cache and they provide a much more direct route to the target. Row hammering is a […]
