Amazon Alexa sends private convo to friend

Meltdown allows an attacker to read data from arbitrary locations in the operating system kernel’s address space (which should normally be inaccessible to user programs).

I think I know how this works, in the earlier days windows users were able to access kernels and other key elements that make the software functional meaning most problems with the earlier versions were the user's altering them. the program the attacker uses probably has a way to run the program in an earlier version.

Windows 10 will come with a “compatibility mode”, much like in Windows 7. The compatibility mode will trick any incompatible game (or any application in general) into thinking they're running on an older, compatible version of Windows.

The KGB was having issues with their telegraphs and other electronic communication methods getting compromised so they reverted back to the typewriter. I hope we don’t need to go that far.

What’s a typewriter?
