The United States-based computer giant Intel has moved quickly to react after revelations of a massive security vulnerability. The company says it has known about the matter for months and planned to reveal the problem once a fix was in place.


Now, following a leak, Intel is insisting an update will solve the problem, which could affect billions of people around the world.
