What did they exaggerate?

They mentioned the attack can work with roughly a week worth of unprivileged runtime, as long as the ECC mode of the ram chips in the targeted system has been previously sufficiently reverse engineered.

Is that too alarmist? To me, it sounds like something perhaps too cumbersome for casual drive by attacks, but it seems right down the alley of so called "persistent threats", or whatever it is we call those guys nowadays.

Agree very much especially in cloud and iot. Later you have much less protection already and physical (in some case) easy to get to.
