Skyfall and solace are the first attacks based on meltdown and specter

It didn't take long to happen, the skyfallattack website has shown the Skyfall and Solace attacks, which are described as the first to use the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities, we tell you all the details.

Skyfall and Solace exploit the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities

Skyfall and Solace are two cyberattacks that take their name from the James Bond movies Skyfall and Quantum of Solace, so far very little detail has been given as the information remains under embargo, until hardware manufacturers and system developers operating, have released their final versions of the patches that protect against these vulnerabilities.

It is a somewhat strange situation, since we are facing the appearance of two attacks that use the most serious vulnerabilities that have been found in recent years, and their creators keep them under embargo until the appropriate corrective measures have been launched, something that it has already happened by the way.

From this we can deduce two things, the first is that it is a lie and in reality they are not two attacks that are based on Meltdown and Specter, the second is that they were not created with bad intentions, but to show the population how they work or anything else that has crossed your mind, a very strange situation.
