Qualcomm on Friday said it's working on updates for products that are affected by recently announced chip-level security vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities, first disclosed earlier this week by security researchers from Google and other organizations, have already wiped billions in value from Intel, whose chips are among those affected. They have also forced many software and cloud services companies, including Amazon, Apple, IBM and Microsoft, to deploy fixes.
