The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as RSA.

So it factored a trivial (22 bit) RSA key.
1024-bit RSA has been deprecated for years. 2048-bit RSA is the recommended minimum.
Interesting. Not quite worrisome.
So, it’s cool, but not worrying. Title is a bit clickbait-y.
