Well, this is absolutely terrifying.
The good news (mentioned near the bottom of the article) is that memory encryption defeats this. That kind of encryption is already in common use.
But then the question becomes: how easy will it be to simply extract the encryption key from wherever it lives?

This is definitely scary, I do believe that as scary tech like this becomes more widespread, ways of avoiding it will also become more widespread. This sort of thing is usually a cat and mouse game. Similar to how Quantum Resistant Encryption is a thing now to try to combat the rising risk of quantum computing brute-force decrypting non-quantum encrypted data.
what if i eat my ram?
