After acknowledging a major security flaw in modern smartphone chips, the head of one of those chip design companies is delivering more grim news.
"The reality is there are probably other things out there like it that have been deemed safe for years," Arm Holdings CEO Simon Segars said in an interview last week at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. "Somebody whose mind is sufficiently warped toward thinking about security threats may find other ways to exploit systems which had otherwise been considered completely safe."
