  • Intel (INTC) didn’t inform U.S. officials about the Meltdown and Spectre chip flaws until the flaws leaked publicly.
  • Alphabet (GOOGL -0.3%) had notified Intel about the flaws six months earlier.
  • The timeline details came out in letters that Intel, Alphabet, and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) sent to Rep. Greg Walden in response to his questions.
  • Alphabet says it informed Intel, AMD (AMD +0.9%), and SoftBank’s ARM about the problems last June and gave the companies 90 days to fix the problem before publicly disclosing the flaws. Alphabet left the decision to inform the government in the hands of the chipmakers.
  • Intel says it didn’t inform the government’s cyber security officials because there wasn’t any evidence of hacking.
