99 Tunnel

The 99 Tunnel refers to a cybersecurity vulnerability in recent Intel CPUs, specifically in their hardware technology called SGX (Software Guard Extensions). It exploits weaknesses in SGX’s secure enclaves, allowing malicious actors to bypass security protections and access sensitive data or execute unauthorized code. Think of it as a security flaw in a safe's lock that hackers can exploit to open the safe without permission. This vulnerability is significant because it undermines hardware-level security designed to protect sensitive information, highlighting the importance of ongoing hardware and software updates to patch such risks.
