Tech firms are working to fix bugs that could allow hackers to steal personal data from computer systems.<\/p>\n

Google researchers said there were “serious security flaws” in chips made by Intel, AMD and ARM, affecting devices which use them.<\/p>\n

The industry has been aware of the problem for months and hoped to solve it before details were made public.<\/p>\n

The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said there was no evidence that the vulnerability had been exploited.<\/p>\n

Some fixes, in the form of things like software updates, have been introduced or will be available in the next few days, said Intel, which provides chips to about 80% of desktop computers and 90% of laptops worldwide.<\/p>\n
