Re: underlying hardware
I used to design embedded systems between the 70s and 90s, and we used to use static ram exclusively because of effects like this - accidental, not malicious.
If you are involved in volume design, then it is a lot easier, but in small volumes a cockup in the layout or timing of dram was very costly, in time and money. So we didn't use it at all.
