Linux systems running kernels prior to 5.0.8 require an emergency patch to high-severity flaw that could be used to remotely compromise a system. The flaw is found it in systems running the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) for the TCP module are the only system affected.
While the attack complexity is describe as 'high' any such attack must be launched from the local network. Because of this the exploit has been given a CVSS 3.0 score, and a exploit ability score of 2.2.

AMD New Epyc Rome Server processor could feature up to 162 PCIe Lanes. This is more than twice as much as Intel's Xeon 9200 CPU with 80 total lanes. The new Epyc processor would be Gen 4 PCIe where Intel is still using Gen 3. Gen 4 PCIe features twice the bandwidth of the older Gen 3 specification.
Looks like AMD is getting geared up to give Intel a serous run in the sever market too.

If you bought some illegal narcotics off Silk Road or even gave money to Wikileaks. Researchers at Qatar University and Hamad Bin Khalifa University have been able to link these transactions with real world identities. They have been able to do this even if the transactions are years old. Their research shows how easy it is to link accounts to these transactions without using any of the tools available to law enforcement like search warrants or subpoenas. This shows that even years latter these transactions remain visible in the block chain for anyone to find.
