In their proof of concept, they show that they can use their computing power to mine Monero during idle times.
There is no attack, it just makes other pools less profitable because they have a lot of computing power. And no, the display is not incorrect, it just fluctuates a lot.
I only see it as positive! It brings variety to the existing mining infrastructure and makes Monero's widely distributed system that little bit better.
