spectre & meltdown

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there's anything we need to worry about/patch as users since the new exploit came out today. I realize it's an advanced kind of attack but, since we can run our own binaries through ssh, I imagine that we might be at risk.

If so, is there a timeline for things getting patched up? I think I'd like to do a full password reset after the dust has settled.

We have already been patched some servers and our system administrators are hard at work at getting all of our servers secured. In some cases we are still waiting on the upstream providers to make a patch available.

You can check out the status post to see the progress on mitigating the hardware issue on our system.
