 Fujitsu has posted a comparability matrix for its solutions that seemingly lists the entire lineup for Intel's new 9th-Generation processors. Intel's initial announcement of the 9th Generation lineup occurred in October 2018 in a limited fashion: The company only introduced three models spanning its Core i5, i7 and i9 lines, with the expectation that more would come in the future. Intel later announced the Core i5-9400 at CES 2019, but it'd make sense for Intel to continue expanding the lineup. Now, as spotted by TechPowerUp, Fujitsu has listed several new 9th-Gen processors in a compatibility document for its line of desktop motherboards. Many of these processors have already been known about, due to a steady cadence of leaks around Intel's new F-series processors that lack integrated graphics units. The new listing apparently whips the covers off Intel's new line of T-series processors, which are variants that feature a lower 35W TDP rating for fanless and space-constrained systems. Other models, such as the new F-Series Pentiums, already leaked last month. The document also lists several new Xeon E-Series processors, including the eight-core E-2288G and E-2278G, along with vague listings of E-22xxG and E-22xx models that land with either four or six cores. Intel hasn't officially announced several of the new models, so a timeline for retail availability remains unknown. The company announced the Core i5-9400 and 9400F at CES 2019, but while the GPU-disabled Core i5-9400F is already available, we have yet to see the Core i5-9400 on retailers shelves. We have the complete lineup posted on OUR FORUM.  On March 1, 2019, Microsoft began pushing out Windows 10 KB4482887 to October 2018 Update machines. This cumulative update advances the system to Windows 10 Build 17763.348 and it comes with tons of improvements, including support for Retpoline which will eventually improve the performance of Spectre, patched PCs. The update has also fixed bugs associated with Action Center, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, and other core components. As per reports on social media platforms, Microsoft’s most recent Windows 10 update appears to be causing considerable grief for gamers. After installing this update, some folks have hit gaming issues when playing certain games such as Destiny 2. A post on Reddit notes that games such as Destiny 2 may launch with unbearable performance issues. For instance, there’ll be noticeable lags when playing Destiny 2 on PCs with certain GPUs after installing the update. There is another bug where FPS has drastically reduced on high-end PCs. “I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Destiny 2 suddenly dropped 40 frames,” a user noted in a Reddit discussion. “I also had this issue, where when I moved my mouse I saw a loss from 60 fps to about 35 and the game began to fall behind and my audio quality distorted another fix is to resort to a controller, which I know us PC master race people groan and moan about that but it did fix my instance, hope it can help someone else,” another user noted.

Embedded and IoT cable-connected devices running Microsoft's Windows 10 IoT Core are exposed to remote command execution attacks with SYSTEM privileges that require no authentication, with the help of an open source RAT tool released on GitHub. Windows 10 IoT Core-powered devices run a version of Windows 10 optimized for smaller ARM and x86/x64 devices, compatible with universal apps and drivers but with no support for shells or Microsoft apps. The SirepRAT tool developed by SafeBreach's Dor Azouri is designed to exploit the Sirep test service built-in "on any cable-connected device running Windows IoT Core with an official Microsoft image." The good news is that the SirepRAT Windows 10 IoT Core exploitation tool released by the researcher on GitHub will only work via an Ethernet connection because the less-known interface it exposes is "used by HLK for driver/HW tests" over wired connections. "The research was performed on a Windows IoT Core installed on a Raspberry Pi 3, but is probably not limited to this board as it abuses a Windows service and protocol, which should be platform independent," also says Azouri. "This service is the client part of the HLK setup one may build in order to perform driver/hardware tests on the IoT device. It serves the Sirep/WPCon/TShell protocol," according to Azouri. "We broke down the Sirep/WPCon protocol and demonstrated how this protocol exposes a remote command interface for attackers, that include RAT abilities such as get/put arbitrary files on arbitrary locations and obtain system information." The devices which can be exploited with the help of SirepRAT can be found in a multitude of environments, from commercial handheld products and DIY projects to enterprise environments.
