A friend of mine sent me this link, so don't shoot the messenger! LOL

Why am I not surprised to see this though?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Old and overblown news. Here's the more detailed tech thread on it, which notes, among other things, that the basic idea of this attack has been discussed for 3 years now:

Something to be addressed long-term, but not a big deal. This thread's title is pretty misleading once you understand the issue.
