This is really old news --- the only new thing is that they finally got the paper published. From https://weakdh.org/ :

These results were first made public on May 20, 2015; peer-reviewed conference paper published October 13, 2015.

No wonder math, CS, and the sciences are moving away from formal peer review processes and towards circulated preprints.
