Is it still possible to run malware in a browser using JavaScript and Rowhammer? Yes, yes it is (slowly)

Re: Intel?

Seems that ECC doesn’t completely defeat rowhammer attacks, if that’s what you mean.

Although yes, it is annoying that ECC memory is quite expensive. After Xeon processors’ prices started being quoted in kidneys and liver lobes instead of currency, I moved to AMD for my own machine: I should be able to run ECC memory, but I must admit I was not willing to make the investment.

Anyhow, it’s still possible to run ECC modules without spending tens of thousands on a computer. But it’s difficult for under 3-4k, yes.
