Nvidia and Intel both manufacture and sell advanced computer chips and are now facing heat from lawmakers on their usage by the Chinese government and security forces. The chips are reportedly being used to power a supercomputer that allows China to host and conduct its mass surveillance system. The system

Intel Corp., which specializes in chipmaking, has been the victim of an intellectual property leak stemming from its partner and customer resource center. The organization experienced a data breach earlier this year, however, more than 20 gigabytes of source code and proprietary data belonging to the company were recently leaked

Researchers have discovered a new vulnerability in Intel’s CPUs, as the devices are continuously targeted by an unending series of attacks. Multiple campaigns over the past two years have made it possible for sophisticated attackers to steal passwords, encryption keys, and other relevant information from the CPUs. On Tuesday, two

Earlier this week, MobilEye announced that they intend to offer a robotaxi service without safety drivers by early 2022. The statement was made at the EcoMotion self-driving conference that was held virtually from Israel. The company, which is now a unit of Intel INTC, plans to begin self-driving car operations

Microsoft has confirmed a newly reported security vulnerability called “Thunderspy” that lies within a vulnerability in its THunderbolt ports. The vulnerability enables an attacker with physical PC access to adjust or change the port’s controller firmware, effectively disabling its security and presenting huge risks for the victim. Last week, consumers

Recently, Intel released security updates that patch 27 vulnerabilities as part of the Patch Tuesday, March 2020 edition.

Over the past few years, security researchers have found hundreds of vulnerabilities that allow a hacker to trick Intel’s microprocessors into unauthorized data access. As the flaws have been exposed, employees have rushed to release patches for them. However, Intel has failed to patch the underlying problem behind a serious

Vulnerabilities in the Data-Direct I/O (DDIO) mechanism in Intel server processors can be exploited by attackers in order to grab keystrokes and other sensitive data, new research from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and ETH Zurich shows. In the most dangerous attack scenario, threat actors could abuse DDIO in order to

Security researchers at Bitdefender have discovered a critical vulnerability in Intel processors that can enable attackers to get CPU chips to leak sensitive information via a side-channel attack. The attack is similar to previously discovered vulnerabilities known as Spectre and Meltdown and actually bypasses security mechanisms intended to prevent expliotation
