Intel hit with 32 lawsuits over security flaws

Am I the only one who thinks that now would be a good time to buy intel shares, or even wait a bit more until these suits are won (intel will likely lose), so the stock price will go down even further. There is no way intel will lose its market position, so stock prices are likely to go back up after all this drama settles down...

The problem, I feel, is with the Coffee Lake and Kaby Lake R release <i>after</i> learning of Spectre and Meltdown.

If the behaviors (bus timing logic and such) that are being used to spill information across process and privilege boundaries actually were fully documented, wouldn’t the liability fall on the people who used these chips to write multi-user environments without knowing or understanding the implications of the technical details?

Does anyone know how one could take part in these class action suits? And are they limited to US citizens only?

This comment on Slashdot is interesting: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yro.slashdot.org&#x2F;comments.pl?sid=11756132&amp;cid=56135852" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yro.slashdot.org&#x2F;comments.pl?sid=11756132&amp;cid=561358...</a>

&gt; dubbed Spectre and Meltdown, that affected nearly every modern computing device containing chips from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices Inc and ARM Holdings.<p>WTF, spreading FUD on Intels behalf again?

Am i the only one that thinks bugs are called bugs for a reason, and this was most likely not negligence.

meanwhile, equifax stumbles in and yells, &quot;nothing to see here, MOVE ALONG....&quot;

I&#x27;m really relieved the number is a power of 2.

There needs to be a law that protects engineering corporations against security flaws that were previously unknown.
