Antoine pointed out I should probably have a quick summary of the article: Organization performed a mass analysis of public TLS keys across every IPv4 address using Amazon EC2 to grab everybody's certificate. They found that around 0.5% of all keys shared a prime number, causing both keys to be made vulnerable. The process can be performed by anybody and only takes a day or two of processing along with an hour of computation (about $5 on EC2).
