Security researchers report three safety issues that may be caused by Intel’s processor, which could put users at risk of cyber attacks.
An international team of researchers has identified a new security fault called ‘Forshadow’, which allows hackers to steal files, pictures, and passwords from a computer’s memory.
Earlier this year, the researchers identified another security error after identifying two security flaws (which could give hackers the chance to steal user information from third-party cloud storage).
Potential security risks are included in the list of Intel Core and Zion Processors, which keep personal computer users and data centers at a security risk.
Through the foreshadow, hackers can steal data from computers used by Intel, AMD and ARM Holding processors.
Intel’s security and security team has begun to tackle new errors, including errors that have been detected earlier this year, to protect users, said Intel’s Intellectual Property Team. While there have been no incidents of cyber attack outside of the researchers, Intel has said that software updates will reduce the risk of potential security.
Intel is also working on hardware development to better protect against such attacks in future processors.
Intel said in their blog post, “We are not aware of such error, because in reality, no computer was actually infected by these errors. But still, it has shown the need to continue the best practice of safety.
‘Forshadow’ attacks Intel’s SGX feature, this feature is known as a feature from a user’s data protector from cyber attack.
Common computer users are less likely to be affected due to the detected error, Intel says. But there will be extra caution in managing data centers and virtual technology. The organization insists on installing the latest updates.
‘Forshadow’ has the power to attack millions of devices. Many companies, including HP, Apple, Microsoft, Dell, use Intel processors on their computers. The possible Intel processors are at risk:
Core i3 (45 nm and 32 nm), core i5 (45 nm and 32 nm), core i7 (45 nm and 32 nm), core m (45 nm and 32 nm), second generation core processor, third generation core processor, fourth-generation core processor, fifth generation core Processor, sixth-generation core processor, seventh-generation core processor, eighth generation core processor, Core X series processor X-99 platform, x299 Core X series processor for the jet, Intel Xeon 3400 series processor, Geon 3600 series processor, Geon 5500 series processor, Geon 5600 series processor, Geon 6500 series processor, Geon 7500 series processor, Geon E3, Geon E3V2, Geon E3V3, Geoan E3V4, GeoE3V5, GeoE3V6, Geon E5, Geon E5V2, GeoE5V3, GeoE5V4, Geon E7, Geon E7V2, Geon E7V3, Geon E7V4, Geon Scalable, Geon D (1500, 2). 00).
