Hi Rick,
I've recently read researchers have found a significant number of
hardware bugs similar to meltdown-spectre. And, of course, the public is
not being given the details. So this might one of a series of
announcements about new hardware bugs coming out in the coming weeks and
months.

thanks for posting the notice.
