One of these security flaws, known as the Spectre vulnerability, allows third parties to gather passwords and other sensitive information from a system's memory. AMD initially downplayed Project Zero's announcement, stating that while AMD's chips were vulnerable to one variant of Spectre, there was "near zero risk" that AMD's chips were vulnerable to the second Spectre variant. Just a few days later, on January 11, 2018, AMD admitted that its chips were actually susceptible to both Spectre variants. Since news of AMD's troubles hit the market, AMD's stock has declined over 18% to close at $9.93 per share on April 13, 2018.
