This vulnerability is stupendously serious, affecting most encryption algorithms including those hardened against quantum computers.

How would a real world exploit happen? Download and run malware?

It affects M1s which have been around for at least 3 years! I’m genuinely curious how long this has been known about. Can you imagine what this exploit would be worth to criminals/ spy agencies?

I don't know details about how it can be reproduced but surely they had three years to come out with it...

I wonder how long it had been in the wild?

Maybe since Apple published their first M1 devices...
