Fixing newly discovered side channel will likely take a major toll on performance.

The attack has been dubbed GoFetch: https://gofetch.fail/

    Sure. Unless law enforcement takes it, in which case they have all the time in the world.

      It still requires user level access, which means they have to bypass my login password first, which would give them most of that anyways.

      Am I missing something?

      Yup, but they’re probably as likely to beat you up to get your passwords.

        No way! Even the evil ones will try to avoid jail.

        Meanwhile they might have a friggin budget for the GrayKey, the Stingray…

        Definitely believe rights are more likely to be violated when they can just plug in or power on without getting their gloves dirty.
