Google on Friday released proof-of-concept code for conducting a Spectre-based attack against its Chrome browser to show how web developers can take steps to mitigate browser-based side-channel attacks.<\/p>\n

The code, posted to GitHub<\/a>, demonstrates how an attacker can pull data from device memory at speed of 1kB\/s when running on Chrome 88 on an Intel Skylake CPU. According to Google, the attack should work on other browsers, even those running on Arm-based Apple M1 chips.<\/p>\n
