So Intel CEO Brian Krzanich sold 1/2 of all his stock in the company . He sold Intel stock 21 times this year, until he reached the lowest holding he can in his contract.

Why?

Because he found out in June that billions of Intel chips are completely wide open to hacking.

Intel says:

"Check with your operating system vendor or system manufacturer and apply any available updates as soon as they are available. Following good security practices that protect against malware in general will also help protect against possible exploitation until updates can be applied."

I wonder what kind of updates you can apply to a piece of silicon?.....

To completely resolve the problem, the chips themselves need to be replaced.

Apple says all it's computers and iOS devices are also wide open

AMD has announced that they are immune to the hacks.
