With computers permeating every area of our daily lives, people are keen to find new methods of attacking PC hardware. At all times, there is an arms race between cybersecurity researchers and malicious hackers who both want to find the latest exploits. The former wants to find them first so they can report it to the hardware company and get them fixed, while the latter wants to find flaws that nobody knows about for a free pass onto people's PCs. Fortunately, the researchers have won this round, as they have discovered a new flaw called ZenHammer that affects AMD CPUs and proceeded to report it to AMD.
