Fresco fresco l'annuncio di una vulnerabilità seria in tutti i chip della serie M.
Come spiega in dettaglio l'articolo, la soluzione software penalizza fortemente la velocità

Dall'articolo
The attack works against both classical encryption algorithms and a newer generation of encryption that has been hardened to withstand anticipated attacks from quantum computers. The GoFetch app requires less than an hour to extract a 2048-bit RSA key and a little over two hours to extract a 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman key. The attack takes 54 minutes to extract the material required to assemble a Kyber-512 key and about 10 hours for a Dilithium-2 key, not counting offline time needed to process the raw data.

Like other microarchitectural CPU side channels, the one that makes GoFetch possible can’t be patched in the silicon. Instead, responsibility for mitigating the harmful effects of the vulnerability falls on the people developing code for Apple hardware. For developers of cryptographic software running on M1 and M2 processors, this means that in addition to constant-time programming, they will have to employ other defenses, almost all of which come with significant performance penalties.
