Department of Homeland Security-funded research by Virginia-based security firm Kryptowire has allegedly discovered major security flaws in numerous phones. The vulnerabilities have been discovered in phones carried by all four major carriers: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. Millions of users in the U.S. are likely at risk, a source familiar with the research said, although the total number is not clear. Samsung Galaxy S7 phones also reportedly vulnerable to Meltdown, an exploit in speculative execution, a processing technique where CPUs perform some tasks that might not be needed to reach results faster.”]
