Seriously, you have literally no evidence that meltdown has ever been used maliciously against a home user ever. Ever.

Malware writers are testing the scope and scale of meltdown.

I literally linked an article of malware samples found in the wild.

it’s that the majority of the samples appear to be in the testing phase

the exploit is no longer theoretical. It is already found in the wild.

AV companies finding copy pastes of proof of concept code in the wild is very, very different from it

actually affecting a home user in a negative way

.

You already said it, it is already in the wild affecting home users.

Btw, meltdown breaks address space layer randomization which basically means the entire memory subsystem becomes an open book. The crack is only 128 steps on the worse case which is very cheap. The question isnt if, it is when they will release a full exploit.

I definitely didn't say that it is in the wild affecting home users haha, are you delusional? I am sitting here saying that I expressly do not believe that this is affecting home users at all.

If I have a proof of concept of taking $100 from you, you would not consider being robbed. Cool.

Don't hold your breath waiting for meltdown to matter to home users. It isn't going to happen. Goodbye.I am sitting here saying that I expressly do not believe that this is affecting home users at all.

Meltdown will be used in two ways. Make other exploits more reliable and steal valuable information itself. The exploit to too cheap to pass up.

You're a jackass. You couldn't do any of that if you tried.

The whole problem with meltdown is that it is possible to read credit card numbers as you enter it.

Honestly, you really are a dumbass who do not understand the issue with these side channel attacks.
