Critical Flaw: New SLAP & FLOP Attacks Leave Apple M-Series Chips Vulnerable to Data Theft

Researchers discover two new side-channel attacks (SLAP and FLOP) affecting Apple silicon chips, potentially exposing sensitive data through vulnerabilities in CPU speculative execution. SLAP targets M2/A15+ chips via Load Address Predictor, while FLOP affects M3/A17+ through Load Value Pr...
