The nightmare Meltdown and Specter continues to occupy Intel, as the company has not yet developed all of them updates security for the Variant 2, while at the same time he has to face more than 32 lawsuits.
In SEC filling (10-K Annual Report) published last week, Intel revealed that 30 lawsuits from its customers and two lawsuits from brokerage firms have been filed against the company, while three shareholders have also filed lawsuits over allegations of confidential trading.

However, Intel is ready to appeal to court and to face all charges, stating that it cannot estimate whether or not the company will record any losses following the lawsuits.
"We challenge the lawsuits described above and intend to defend them vigorously."
Intel is still preparing for the release of the next security updates that will be experiencing the Specter Variant 2 vulnerability in the company's earlier chips after updates have been released for the Skylake chipset.
Intel has promised to release these fixes in the coming weeks.
