What you need to know about the ZombieLoad attack

A new set of vulnerabilities was recently discovered within modern Intel processors which allowed hackers to access potentially sensitive data.

The exploit which takes advantage of these vulnerabilities is named ZombieLoad, and it allows hackers to use a side-channel attack to compromise the security of modern Intel processors.
