One important thing that was not mentioned: Meltdown (Intel specific) allows a program to read memory from anywhere on the CPU, included protected system memory. The 2 main spectre vulnerabilities can only read from the currently executing program or another program running in userspace (not system).

One consolation about Spectre & Meltdown. We've been hearing (a lot) about these vulns that will end life as we know it, but so far, (as far as I know), there has not been a single malicious example used in the wild, anywhere, any time, by anyone against anyone. The Y2K bug was lot more real and present and easy to demonstrate... I'm not saying they can't be used in the wild, but we've heard a hell of a lot about them, but after 4 or 5 months, there's still not been a single case of anyone catching gonorrhoea off a toilet seat.

glad i learned more about assembly and internal operations of a CPU. all of this makes a ton of sense. it's a way of deducting data at a memory address instead of asking for it directly (which will give a segmentation fault because the memory address it's asking for is outside of the program's "virtual memory", basically its partitioned area / sandbox that it plays in). seems to exploit cpu registers, wouldn't surprise me if this video explains it a little off just so that it's easier to explain. it'd be hard to write an assembly-level bug that utilizes any kind of inference of data, but then again it could probably be done in C, but i doubt it would be

I think it's pretty likely that the exploit is being used in extreme international espionage applications, but it's unlikely that the hacker who just wants your bank info has developed a program yet. I wouldn't be surprised if spectre and meltdown were used by at least one government for years, even decades. Luckily that shouldn't affect us though lol

Wasn't quite sure of the scope, whether it meant fishing with half a chance, or if it could target particular data. One thing that seems clear, the two vulnerabilities will not help to gain access initially, but could be used by malware that has already entered, or by a malicious user on a shared system

But, if I try to open it again, it immediately opens 2 windows of it. I'm not sure if this would fall into this "pattern" category, but It's something I noticed.
