Nothing consumer-facing confirmed this pass. The structural note that belongs on the semiconductor rows in this tab: chip makers hold almost no personal data and sit almost entirely outside consumer privacy law, but they determine what security is possible for everyone downstream. The Spectre and Meltdown class of speculative-execution vulnerabilities affected essentially every modern processor and could not be fully fixed in software - which is a category of consumer exposure with no breach-notification requirement and little an individual can do about it. Consumer class actions over Spectre/Meltdown, consolidated as an MDL in the District of Oregon, ended without a settlement: the claims were dismissed with prejudice in 2022 and the Ninth Circuit affirmed on Nov. 2, 2023. Recorded as an honest structural entry rather than a manufactured finding.
