Intel it currently has several dozen open processes due to vulnerabilities Meltdown and Spectre discovered in the processors used in computers. According to the most recent count, 32 lawsuits would be opened against the American company, she revealed this number in a statement made to the American authorities recently.
Of all the 32 lawsuits, 30 are collective, so we are talking about a very large number of clients, either individuals or companies, who sued the American company. Intel claims that these lawsuits are aimed at recovering damages due to vulnerabilities that can be used to extract confidential information from computers.
Among those who sued Intel are also 3 shareholders who say that the president of the company sold part of his shares at a good price before the scandal became public. Apart from these 32 processes, the Intel company risks being involved in many others, and this is because the problems of its processors seem to have no end, or complete solution, for now.
""As of February 15, 2018, 30 customer class action lawsuits and two securities class action lawsuits have been filed. The customer class action lawsuits are seeking monetary damages and equitable relief, while the securities lawsuits allege that Intel and certain officers violated securities laws by making statements about Intel's products and internal controls that were revealed to be false or misleading by the disclosure of the security vulnerabilities .”
Intel has drawn into this scandal the computer manufacturers it collaborates with, Apple, Microsoft and other companies also being named in open processes against those from Intel. Until now, Intel has focused on solving the problems of the architecture of the processors that computers use, but soon it will have to pay attention to all these processes as well.
