A significant security vulnerability, described as "unpatchable", has been discovered in Apple's Silicon M-series chips, which reportedly cannot be patched. This flaw allows hackers to harvest encryption keys from Macs and MacBooks. The issue has sparked a discussion in the tech community, with comparisons being made to previous vulnerabilities found in Intel and AMD products. The vulnerability's unpatchable nature has led to concerns over the security of data on devices equipped with these chips. The discovery has prompted users to reconsider their hardware choices, with some looking for alternative lightweight PC laptops. A specific paper, referred to as the GoFetch paper, details the vulnerability, emphasizing that the exploitation of this flaw is due to the data-dependent nature of DMP. It clarifies that successful attacks require control over the ciphertext and observation of cache movements.
I hope this guys right Regarding the Apple M1 vulnerability https://t.co/X0kSdqfKkf
TLDR: If your crypto on your new Mac got hacked, it wasn't GoFetch, it was user error. Read the paper. The GoFetch paper says, due to the data-dependent nature of DMP, if you're able to control both the ciphertext and watch the cache movements, and know what the https://t.co/dv7lC3FTFd
It seems to be a "Vulnerability found in Apple's Silicon M-series chips – and it can't be patched" Does anyone have good lightweight PC laptop recommendations? I am glad we are finding this early. https://t.co/3SPkeXVBiN

The hits keep coming for Apple. “Unpatchable”. I remember when the Arm community was throwing barbs at Intel and AMD for similar reasons. Nothing is impenetrable given infinite time and reasonable effort. https://t.co/9TKbD4nJqZ
