Researcher to demonstrate attack code for Intel chips:

http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/...l_chips_1.html

SALIENT/PERTINENT EXCERPT:
----------------------------------------------------
"Kaspersky says CPU bugs are a growing threat, with malware being written that targets these vulnerabilities... Security researcher and author Kris Kaspersky plans to demonstrate how an attacker can target flaws in Intel's microprocessors to remotely attack a computer using JavaScript or TCP/IP packets, regardless of what operating system the computer is running."
----------------------------------------------------

* Now can anyone see WHY I recommended turning off Java/Javascript (& other browser addons/extension languages) for "every site you use under the sun" + IFrames etc.? Personally, this one's pretty bad, worse than what is out there/here now, worse than rootkits even in some ways...

However, I also think worse are on the way even moreso...

(... & I mentioned the architecture they could possibly use, quite "terminator-like", for rootkit delivery systems & such here earlier. Especially ones that can flash your BIOS, &/or other updateable PROMS (mainly because if usermode tools from vendors like ASUS + GIGABYTE & doubtless others can do it, from inside Windows, so can malwares & same way (via drivers & bios img files))

APK

P.S.=> There are more examples inside this guide, & of this SAME type of idea (crank off the java/javascript etc. et al & ONLY keep it active on sites you ABSOLUTELY need it for, to have the site function properly - lessening your potentially attackable surface online basically).. heck, even adbanners have exploits of this nature in them lately...

The examples I put in this guide ARE far older too, dating back 1-3 yrs. but the point is only here, again, & moreso (far more dangerous this time, imo @ least)... apk
