Intel told investors Thursday that the company is working "around the clock" to tackle the security issues stemming from the Spectre and Meltdown flaws and that it will release updated chips later this year to provide a long-term solution.
The update was offered during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call, the first since the vulnerabilities were made public. The flaws could allow hackers to steal stored data — including passwords and other sensitive information — on desktops, laptops, mobile phones and cloud networks around the globe.
