It’s no longer necessary to run attacker code on the victim system. When the Spectre and Meltdown attacks were disclosed earlier this year, the initial exploits required an attacker to be able to run code of their choosing on a victim system. This made browsers vulnerable, as suitably crafted JavaScript could be used to perform Spectre attacks. […]
Group of Security researchers discovered new Spectre remote attack called NetSpectre over a network connection that affected nearly billion of devices around the world. Previously discovered highly critical vulnerabilities Spectre and Meltdown have been made a huge impact on IT sectors and the attack works on mobile devices, personal computers, and cloud infrastructure depends on […]
What we know so far about Spectre attacks is that it relies upon execution of malicious code. The code is executed on computers having speculative-execution design flaws in processor chip; once a device is compromised, it becomes possible to obtain sensitive data such as passwords, PINs, and keys. Such data is usually stored in the […]
