Some of our members have been convinced this was imminent for, oh, about a decade now.  It's finally happened, but as is pointed out, relies on side-chanel attacks on shared hardware.
This STILL doesn't mean virtualization itself is inherently insecure... but it does mean public clouds just got a little harder to trust for high-security operations.
