These clever data exfiltration techniques are interesting. Not to discount these latest researchers' efforts, but the lesson is that if you're within sensory physical proximity of the hardware, data exfiltration is possible. This is an extension of the the axiom that once an attacker has physical access to a computer, it's no longer secure -- it's clear that physical access need not always be access to the computer's internals.
