Read the article, this is not simply screen reading.

It's been possible to detect what is displayed on a CRT monitor for many years. Back then monitors did not control the display of data using microprocessors within the monitor, they do now and the article refers to contents being read AND modified without any intrusion into the computer at all.

Read above, this is very different and does not involve exploiting the computer at all.
