Google has released proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code, which leverages the Spectre attack against the Chrome browser to leak data from websites. Researchers said they hope the PoC will light a fire under web application developers to take active steps to protect their sites. Google researchers said they don t believe the exploit can be re-used for nefarious purposes without significant modifications however, they hope that the release of the attack provides a clear signal for web-application developers that they need to consider this risk in their security evaluations .
