The Meltdown & Spectre CPU exploits were announced a couple weeks ago and are actually a big deal. But what exactly is the problem and what can you do to fix them? The exploits affect both Intel and AMD processors, as well as ARM and even smartphone CPUs. The exploit is at a hardware level, meaning CPUs will literally have to be redesigned to completely fix this. Luckily, patches have already rolled out for all major operating systems, but you will need to eventually update your BIOS to fix everything.
