Video demonstration of the Meltdown attack was just taken down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbHbFkh6eeE due to "violating YouTube's policy on spam, deceptive practices, and scams."



Thanks for pointing that out. I've escalated internally to have the video restored.

Edit: the video has been restored.


"I've escalated internally" wow almost as cool as "I called the POTUS and the TSA thing is fixed now"!! Kudos and thanks


Thanks a lot!


It's odd that the "LEARN MORE" isn't actually a link.


Yes it is. It redirects to the Knowledge Base. Check your adblockers.

edit: huh that's weird that so many people are getting an error, it works for me across two browsers on both Linux and Windows


Tried with and without uBlock Origin in Chrome, and with no adblocker in Edge, and it's black & white with the "learn more" text but no link. IE renders it correctly as a link.

Edit: Sorry for being off-topic, but here's a comparison - https://postimg.org/image/fhb9vlmt1/


I don't have any adblockers. I'm using Firefox. It's not a hyperlink for me, it's plain text.


Not a link for me either. Even with uBlock and Ghostery turned off.

Chrome - Mac OS X Sierra


Just tried with vanilla Chrome and it's still not a link.


mirror?
