Apple, SLAP

Apple silicon is vulnerable to side-channel speculative execution attacks "FLOP" and "SLAP"
Apple Silicon is extra prone to stolen information thanks to some yet-unpatched speculative execution attacks.
SLAP, Apple, and FLOP: Safari, Chrome at risk of data theft on iPhone, Mac, iPad Silicon
SLAP and FLOP build on Spectre, the 2018 microarchitecture attack that abused CPU speculation, in which processors try to accelerate operations by predicting the flow of execution through program code. By speculatively computing possible branches in logic in advance and discarding paths that aren't needed, CPUs can run applications faster.
