recently read the article that MIT found M1 chips hardware vulnerability that allows attackers to sidestep security feature and penetrate at hardware level. They say there is no patch that can fix this serious flaw.
What can be done? or should M1 chips devices be taken off line until Apple comes up with a hardware fix?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
thanks for response, NO NEED for your sarcasm, I was genuinely worried and looked for an answer. now I got it, no need to worry at the moment according to Apple.

From the article you linked to, here is Apple's reply:
“We want to thank the researchers for their collaboration as this proof of concept advances our understanding of these techniques. Based on our analysis as well as the details shared with us by the researchers, we have concluded this issue does not pose an immediate risk to our users and is insufficient to bypass operating system security protections on its own.”
Before I go any further, M1 MacBook owners don’t need to worry about having their sensitive data stolen. While this is a severe vulnerability that will need to be addressed, certain unlikely conditions need to be in place for it to work. Foremost, the system under attack needs to have an existing memory corruption bug. As such, the scientists say there is “no cause for immediate alarm.”

You could yell "fire" in a crowded theater...or read the details.
Please post a link to your source.
"unpatchable flaw in M1 Chips", how can we protect our computers?
