Now, when the company itself pulled their hands from the issues, the question is how to protect our PCs from Meltdown flaw.

These flaws let the attackers compromise the memory of the processor which could slow down your PCs up to 30%.

These flaws also let the attacker access the frontend code which is running on the browsers, such as typing passwords and other personal stuff.

Almost every device which is built in the past 20 years is affected by these security flaws.

The Meltdown flaw can only affect the Intel processors, which is the part of almost every computer including MacBooks and huge other huge brands.

Everyone out there is issuing and preparing the patches for these flaws.

Shares plummeted in after-hours trading, resulting in a market cap decline of nearly $3bn as revenues for the quarter shrunk by 7.4 per cent to $4.89bn from $5.28bn in the previous year.

The bad news continued with pre-tax income down to $206m from $360m a year ago.

The company fingered axe sharpening restructuring costs of $142m as a factor in the decline as well as $105m of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, and $138m of amortisation of acquired intangibles.

The result was diluted earnings per share down to $0.61 from $0.78.

CEO Mike Lawrie put a brave face on things, pointing to a digital pipeline growth of 80 per cent in 2019 and a faster than expected move to the cloud by clients, although one that has left the company with "stranded costs".

Ominously for nervous employees, Lawrie also said during the earnings call: "Our delivery team was also behind on its fiscal '20 cost improvement plan particularly on workforce actions in high cost countries," before admitting that "it is taking longer to eliminate the head count as we automate activities."
