The researchers do note that attacks actually using these exploits have yet to be spotted in the wild after initially discovering and reporting them to Apple in March (SLAP) and September (FLOP ...

Apple-designed chips powering Macs, iPhones, and iPads contain two newly discovered vulnerabilities that leak credit card ...

Speculative execution in Apple Silicon chips like the M2, M3, A15, and A17 boosts performance but also introduces vulnerabilities. Researchers have id ...

Apple's processors are fast because they predict what you'll need next, but when they guess wrong hackers can exploit those mistakes to steal your private data. But new research shows this speed ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Ruhr University Bochum demonstrated two new side channel attacks ...

SLAP, or Data Speculation Attacks via Load Address Prediction, functions by exploiting Apple Silicon's Load Address Predictor, which guesses the next memory address the CPU will use. By exploiting ...

I then pressed the power button, and after a short time, the Apple logo appeared. Five minutes later, the familiar boot ...

The full names of the new flaws are “Data Speculation Attacks via Load Address Prediction on Apple Silicon (SLAP)” and “Breaking the Apple M3 CPU via False Load Output Predictions (FLOP).” ...
