Report: Intel intentionally hid Meltdown and Spectre security flaws from U.S. cyber security officials

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/intel-skylake.png?w=1424)</div><p>Intel reportedly did not disclose Meltdown or Spectre security flaws to U.S. cyber security officials after being notified of the flaws because hackers had not exploited the vulnerabilities yet, Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cyber-intel/intel-did-not-tell-u-s-cyber-officials-about-chip-flaws-until-made-public-idUSKCN1G62PS).</p>
<p>The company did not disclose the information to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, better known as US-CERT, until January 3. This was after the details of the vulnerabilities had leaked online.</p>
