Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Essential BIOS Updates: Keep Your System Secure”.
Okay, dat, your biases, I cannot scream loudly enough. Oh my computer works fine. Why should I ever do that? Well, here’s why Intel downfall server floor in billions of CPU leaks, passwords and much more. There is a serious security floor in billions of Intel CPUs. That can let attackers steal confidential data like passwords and encryption Keys.
Firmware updates can fix it, but add a potential. Significant performance loss reminds me of Spectre meltdown all over again. I know they will eventually fix this in Hardware in the next gen chips they will. This was just released August 12th, so this is brand new, just just a couple of uh a week or so ago.
Um. What do you want me to read? Intel’S downfall was closely followed by amd’s Inception, a newly found security hole affecting all rizon and epic processes. The First Independent testing of the mitigation microcode patches show that it can drastically lower performance in certain workloads. We’Ve included details throughout this post.
So, let’s see uh this vulnerability identified as cve 20122 4982 enables a user to access and steal data from other users who share the same computer. For instance, a malicious app obtained from an app store could use the downfall attack to steal, sensitive information like passwords, encryption keys and private data, such as banking details, personal emails and messages simply or similary. In cloud computing environments, a malicious customer could explo the downfall, vulnerability to steal data and credentials from other customers who share the same Cloud. Computer so update your bios is what you’re saying and here is the risk in cloud.
Computing buy Windows, 10 professional for $ 15, activate instantly online with Microsoft and keep it forever. Don’T pay full price, get the best deal from our sponsor Ur CD Keys, using our Link in the video description below full details on how this amazing deal works. At the end of the video – and here is the risk in cloud computing websites are the cloud a lot of websites share servers. Now, if you’re shopping in you know, Amazon or Walmart, they have dedicated servers, they have massive infrastructure, hopefully they get updated, but smaller websites.
A lot of times, they’re shared on Virtual servers where they collocate or they share server space if shopping site a is located on the same server array as some other website. That’S not good. This means that a mfar person could create a website and co-host it on shared servers that have shopping websites that have sensitive information and can steal it in the same server, because they’re sharing resources. I don’t like that.
No and what it means is that the cloud companies will have to make sure all their stuff is updated, yep they will and we kind of live in an area in in an era where everybody has to pay more attention to security. I do and you need to pay attention to your information, yep uh credit and financials work differently in different countries. They do to our United States users. I strongly advise you to all have a credit card that provides free credit monitoring. We have like four cards that do this anytime, there’s an inquiry on our credit accounts or anything that happens with us. Financially, I get like four emails. Yeah we get yeah, it’s fine. We we don’t Well Fargo.
Does this discovered? Does this city? Does this um? You can open a card with discover Wells or any of those. It doesn’t matter whether you even use it all that much, although I mean some of them, have some really good benefits, but they provide free credit monitoring and give you an instant alert. If anything happens, somebody opens an account runs an inquiry. Does anything else and you can immediately head those off at the pass.
We have been the victims of identity ATT before I had somebody attempt to open a Macy’s account six months ago, yeah, probably that I got a uh email, alert, alert, saying new inquiry and – and I clicked on it well, I clicked on the alert on the website And it said Macy’s and I’m like I didn’t do that – I haven’t been in a Macy. Ever I mean okay, I’ve walked through Macy’s once or twice. I don’t think I have ever bought a thing of Macy’s in my life Noe.
So what you do in that case is you independently? You go search, Macy’s customer service and get the telephone number and I called them, and I said I just received an alert that a new account was opened in my name. I don’t do business with you and the lady goes give you know now. The lady on the phone has to ask you for your social security number, because she has no way to look you up otherwise corre, but you found her number directly through Macy’s. You called her, that’s not a scam, you have you have to give her, so I gave her the information she looked. Yes, uh.
We opened a card such and such a few days ago, um You’re such and such and read off my name. My address everything. I said yeah, but I didn’t do that. No, I have been.
I haven’t been in Amy’s in 10 years. Yep, that’s fraud, mhm and she goes. Thank you very much for telling me I will fly the account as fraud. It will be closed in immediately and you’ll receive notification in the mail mhm about a week later I got a mail saying, thank you for contacting our fraud department, we’re apologize for the difficulty.
This account has been closed and we have removed the inquiry from your credit report y problem solved mhm, because I was on it like that. Yeah cuz, we get the alerts. If you don’t get alerts, you should so yeah that happened to me with PayPal Credit. You have a new PayPal, credit account, I’m like! No, you don’t.
No, I don’t we’ve um we’ve. Unfortunately, once your information is out on the dark web, it’s out and it’s going to get used over and over and over, and it’s just very frustrating. So this is a big deal. Um update your bioses, I would say once a year well, whenever I would just make it happen, I would just plan on updating your bioses.
You know you don’t necessarily need every single bios update, but the important ones like this one. This is also why I object to people who say well: my needs are modest, I’ll, just use a computer for 10 years. You can’t they don’t get updated anymore, they don’t fix them correct. The problem is when’s. The last bios update the i56400 received when’s. The last firmware fix it received m even if intel releases a code patch, if your motherboard manufacturer doesn’t make one it doesn’t matter nope. So can you use that offline? Can you just play a few games with it sure don’t do online banking? Don’T do email, don’t do anything important with itre. Don’T log into your accounts, don’t have your passwords on it, correct, which means for security reasons alone. You have to upgrade your computer every five years at a minimum. You you really it is. It is you’re asking for it if you use a 10-year-old machine – and I know some people are going to be like, but why should I have to spend money because the devices are insecure? You don’t have to, but it’s going to cost you a lot more. If your information gets out there yeah all right, nothing else to say about that.
Just keep in mind that all the articles are linked below so click on them and take a read. So this is what’s affected. Both consumer and server processes from Intel show the gap for consumers or PCS or laptops with Intel core processors of the six Skylake generation up two in including the 11th gen tiger leg chips contain the V vulnerability. This means that the vulnerability has existed since at least 2015, when Skylake was released holy crap notice, this Intel’s newer, 12th gen and 13 gen core processes are not affected. Well, that’s good. What did I say uh the downfall.
Vulnerability now discovered is reminiscent of the legendary meltdown inspector vulnerabilities from 2018 yep. The minute you do anything sensitive on your machine yeah, it matters it.
