Next week, PC vendors will start rolling out patches that fix a severe vulnerability found in certain Intel-based business systems, including laptops, making them easier to hack.
Intel on Friday released a new notice urging clients to take steps to secure their systems.
The chipmaker has also released a downloadable tool that can help IT administrators and users discover whether a machine they own has the vulnerability.
In addition, vendors including Fujitsu, HP, and Lenovo have released lists showing which products are affected and when the patches will roll out.
