It's not click-bait. It's the most tempting target, and, often, the least protected.

Many BitCoin wallets are protected by a single password. A Bitcoin itself is a single long string of numerals.

Instant cash.

All you have to do is to recover the address where the password is hidden (using Meltdown), and then read the value in normally unaccessible memory (still using Meltdown).

Values have to be read (guessed) 1 bit at a time, and each bit tested several times, but computers are fast, nowadays.
