More problems for Intel? Analysts at Positive Technologies revealed that the company’s processors are hiding a mysterious and undocumented technology inside. There is no information about it, as there is no data in any document so far. It is said that these chips have something that can be defined as a logic signal analyzer that has the ability to read almost all data from a computer. Although there is still a lot of data about this technology. Apart from the fact that they do not know why it is in there.

What is VISA Vulnerability?
First, it was assumed that VISA was used to search for errors in the brand’s chips. However, it shows that it can also be used to collect data. Something that can undoubtedly represent a high probability for pirates or spies.VISA is usually disabled on Intel chips for commercial use. However, researchers were confirmed that they were able to activate it. So it’s something spies or pirates could do. The company did not react for the time being.
