Meltdown & Spectre Information and Discussion
#31
Tks Trinidad.  For the uninitiated, such as myself
Does this Virtual Server vulnerability mean?
a) Contacting/using cloud storage is a possible vulnerability.
B) Connection to online banking  could be vulnerable
c) Ditto online payment transaction such as Amazon, Paypal etc even though they are supposedly "locked" = https://
d) The connection process to "home" wifi is vulnerable  even with proper WPA/WPA2 activated?

Is this another case of Year 2000  "panic" or a realistic potential threat?

Thanks
