Intel Downfall Security Flaw Affecting Older Chips Discovered by Researcher, Chipmaker Rolls Out Fixes

Intel processors are affected by Downfall, a security flaw that can allow a malicious user to gain access to sensitive and private user data from users' computers, and the chipmaker is rolling out fixes that patch the vulnerability on affected systems. The flaw was detected by a California-based researcher and disclosed to Intel, allowing the firm to patch the issue before details were published online. Unlike the company's recent chips, older CPUs released by Intel in 2015 are currently vulnerable and these models will receive a microcode update to fix the potential leakage of information. The chipmaker has assigned a "Medium" security rating for the bug in a post on the Intel Security website, which states that the firm will issue a firmware update and a software sequence — the latter is optional — that is designed to patch the security flaw.

Blockchain Capital's Hacked X Account Advertises Fake Token Giveaway: Report

Blockchain Capital's X (formerly known as Twitter) account was hacked by crypto scammers on Wednesday. Soon after the scammers had access to the account of the venture capital firm, they posted promotions for a fake token drop — or giveaway — as part of an attempt to phish unsuspecting users. The company later regained access to its account and the post appears to have been deleted from the platform. Users who want to stay safe from these attacks should use two-factor authentication with hardware security keys. According to a CoinTelegraph report , a now deleted post on X asked Blockchain Capital's followers to claim $BCAP tokens before the supply ran out. Their post however, redirected people to fake BCAP tokens on a copycat website designed to resemble the original page of the venture capital company. The URL of the phishing website included an additional ‘n' to resemble the original page, as per the report. It seems that Blockchain Capital has managed to regain access
