"... What's with all the different attack names, teams, and authors?<br><br>Multiple teams and researchers independently discovered, studied, and reported MDS-class vulnerabilities and attacks to Intel. Unfortunately, the different timelines (see below), as well as the fine-grained vulnerability classification and embargo strategy enforced by Intel (which coordinated the disclosure process) made proper coordination across teams impossible. The year-long disclosure process (the longest to date) ultimately resulted in independent finders of even closely related MDS-class vulnerabilities to be completely unaware of one another until a few days before the May 14 disclosure date.<br><br>We worked with Intel to make sure we'd give proper credit to everyone involved in the disclosure of these vulnerabilities, both in our papers and on this website. This website is our last-minute effort to coordinate the different teams, presenting the two independent papers (and counting?) on RIDL and Fallout. ..."<br><br>RIDL and Fallout: MDS attacks
