The obvious target for these is the cloud, especially second-tier cloud vendors more likely to be using "stock" KVM/XEN and therefore easier to target. The obvious target within these clouds would be cryptocurrency nodes.

I feel like if this had been exploited in the wild you would have already heard stories of people using it to zark someone's bitcoin off a Digital Ocean or Vultr node.

I don't think there's a way to apply this to cryptocurrency nodes, because they won't sign messages given to them by third parties over and over with their private keys (usually at least).
