Figured we could use a break from those constant "Why do liberals [...] ?" threads.

I bet the NSA is pissed this flaw is now public. I sure they have been using it forever.
BTW is there a list as to which processor models this affects?

Critical flaws revealed to affect most Intel chips since 1995
Most Intel processors and some ARM chips are confirmed to be vulnerable
The researchers who discovered the vulnerabilities, dubbed "Meltdown" and "Spectre," said that "almost every system," since 1995, including computers and phones, is affected by the bug.
Many cloud services running Intel-powered servers are also affected, prompting Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to patch their cloud services and schedule downtime to prevent would-be attackers from reading other processes on the same shared cloud server.

Has to be total BS, these high level corporate officers simply don’t have inside information and if they did they would never act on that info, come on, it’s against the law! Lol!

It's insider trading if the information was not public at the time of the stock dump - which it wasn't - and if a plan to sell the stock wasn't documented before the CEO learned the news - which is unknown.

Most have to give a notice of intent to sell far in advance of the actual selling of stock.

To me the big story isn't insider trading, but the fact this but exists in the first place. You know NSA has known about it for years. Hell they probably designed it.
Intel has known about it for a year and only learned about it after Google discovered it. Any fix will cause a 30% performance hit. This is bad.
Moral of the story is that there's no security on the internet.
