Attack on a fundamental proof technique reveals a glaring security issue for blockchains

The article is about a paper by Dmitry Khovratovic of the Ethereum Foundation, Ron Rothblum of the zero-knowledge proof technology company Succinct and the Technion in Haifa, Israel, and Lev Soukhanov of the blockchain-focused start-up [[alloc] init. Just curious if anyone has read this and have further insights. The researchers are able to prove lies no matter which hash function is used to generate the “randomness” the proof system relies upon.
