The chipmaker says a USB bug in the chipset that accompanies the "Haswell" processor exists and will be fixed.
The bug can cause USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 devices, like thumb drives, to disappear after entering standby. In some cases, removable devices have to be reconnected again, according to a report at BSN.

According to the Product Change Notification, a new "stepping" -- a version of the chipset with the fix -- will be sent as samples to customers starting April 19. The final version of the fixed chipset will be available starting July 15.

Haswell, which is shipping to PC makers now, is the next-generation mainstream Intel processor that will power ultrabooks and a variety of hybrids that straddle tablet and laptop designs.

Haswell's new microarchitecture will deliver "the single largest generation-to-generation battery life improvement in Intel history," according to a recent statement from Intel CEO Paul Otellini.

The "hacktivist" group also takes credit for accessing a North Korean news and information site, which is currently offline.
This is the second most recent attack purportedly launched by Anonymous against North Korea. Last week, the group leaked account information from Uriminzokkiri.com and posted a few snippets on Pastebin. Anonymous claimed to have hacked more than 15,000 membership records from the site and threatened to wipe out all of that data.
