Your iphone and mac is “affected” by meltdown and spectre bug - her...

Apple is the latest firm to issue a statement with Intel already telling cutsomers: “Intel and other technology companies have been made aware of new security research describing software

analysis methods that, when used for malicious purposes, have the potential to improperly gather sensitive data from computing devices that are operating as designed. "Intel believes

these exploits do not have the potential to corrupt, modify or delete data. “Recent reports that these exploits are caused by a ‘bug’ or a ‘flaw’ and are unique to Intel products are

incorrect. "Based on the analysis to date, many types of computing devices — with many different vendors’ processors and operating systems — are susceptible to these exploits. “Intel is

committed to product and customer security and is working closely with many other technology companies, including AMD, ARM Holdings and several operating system vendors, to develop an

industry-wide approach to resolve this issue promptly and constructively. “Check with your operating system vendor or system manufacturer and apply any available updates as soon as they are

available.” Google and Microsoft have already issued statements telling users which products are affected by the bugs. Google said its Android phones - which make up more than 80% of the

global market - were protected if users had the latest security updates. And Microsoft has already released fixes for many of its services.
