A recently discovered security bug, dubbed Sinkclose, has been found in AMD processors dating back to 2006. This means hundreds of millions of chips may be affected. The bug allows malicious hackers to run undetectable code with full access to a computer's systems. While AMD has acknowledged the issue and released a security bulletin, experts suggest that infected computers may need to be scrapped. It is crucial for those using AMD processors to monitor updates and patches.
