what is happening in these things is some people find some extremely theoretical vulnerability and then because they want fame for themselves for career or whatever purposes, they give it a snazzy name and completely overblow its impact to the point of almost being lying

>heartbleed
brainfart here, i misremembered the name that one was a real vulnerability in SOFTWARE, what i meant to say is Meltdown, Spectre etc extremely theoretical hardware level exploit

in fact heartbleed is an example of the bugs that people should actually worry about, that is SOFTWARE bugs, as this is how glowies or just regular ol thieves exploit your computer
not heartbleed specifically as it was more of an server-side problem
but vulnerabilities like what was being used during the cryptolocker outbreaks after the NSA tools leaked
jeetcode in windows itself or the browsers you use that allow a hole to your system, those are the problems
not some extremely theoretical hardware bug
