Server Reboots

[Mystic]

Have had several uninitiated server reboots and even an AWS instance go down after scrambling to get our servers patched at my company. Apparently they are pulling the plug on the band aid.

Ugh. They have known (and admitted) about this since June of last year. Yet now they decide to start fixing this issue? So stupid.

I'm in charge of patching our systems at my job. We've been avoiding the meltdown/spectre patches like the plague until more concrete fixes are available.

Ugh is right. My supervisor didn't know it was possibly to lose an AWS instance, so we're all learning stuff with this one.

I wouldn't sweat it. If you have someone or an agency so far in your network reading your CPU cache files, you have other problems.
