Spectre and Meltdown revealed a massive weakness among modern processors earlier this year. Something meant to increase performance in these processors could be exploited to reveal passwords and confidential information from a system. These vulnerabilities have severe consequences in the overall security of devices, and a proper fix would cause significant performance loss in older processors. Manufacturers and Operating Systems responded quickly to release patches to secure their users.
