Researchers Demonstrate New Browser Based Side Channel Attack That Affects Intel And M1 Macs
A group of researchers has uncovered what looks to be the first browser-based side-channel attack that’s built entirely from CSS and HTML. The JavaScript-free attack has been found to work across most modern CPUs including Intel, AMD, Samsung, and Apple Silicon. Interestingly, the findings say Apple’s M1 and Samsung’s Exynos chips can sometimes be more susceptible to these novel attacks. Cornell University published the new security paper by a group of researchers from University of Michigan, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and University of Adelaide (via The 8-bit)....
