To help put Intel's claims into context, we've annotated the text. Bold is 
Intel's spin.

Intel and other technology companies have been made aware of new security 
research describing software analysis methods that, when used for malicious 
purposes, have the potential to improperly gather sensitive data from computing 
devices that are operating as designed.

Translation: When malware steals your stuff, your Intel chip is working as 
designed. Also, this is why our stock price fell. Please make other stock 
prices fall, thank you.>>>
