Downfall, Inception, Meltdown, Spectre, I hate to see new vulnerabilities, but their naming choices are solid.
They should name them after their investors and board members.
Gelsinger, McKeon, and Lavender do have a nice ring to them.
Sounds like Bond movies.
Imagine a bug in the ALU when adding two octal values - Octoplussy
Or a bug in a specific Intel generation - Skylakefall
The next one will be discovered On Her Motherboard’s Secret Processes
All four of those names are movies. Only one is a Bond movie, though.

Shellshock happened in 2014 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock_(software_bug)
