It’s been over a long time since researchers uncovered a couple of security vulnerabilities, known as Spectre and Meltdown, that further revealed fundamental flaws in how most present-day PC processors handle the information to maximize efficiency. While they influence a cosmic number of computing devices, the so-called speculative execution bugs are generally hard to misuse in practice. However, presently researchers from Google have built up a proof-of-concept that shows the risk Spectre assaults pose to the browser—in hopes of motivating a new generation of defenses.
