This news looks helpful to me.
Quick guess translation: TLS is still not a reliable ecosystem, and it secures everybody's money. These people are having system misbehaviors. Possible paranoia: People seem to me to be having system issues at a greater frequency, and with greater impact than one would expect. I wouldn't expect a RAM bitflip to cause something publicly visible like this. This is probably a result of system compromise, in the guise of normal failures. But there's also a lot more EMF nowadays, and it could also be within normal statistics.
