Yeah it looks like that website just stole the text from CNN and omitted a bunch of it. CNN didn't interview the other authors, but at least their figures are properly attributed (all tagged with Drew Whitehouse/Son Phạm/Hrvoje Tkalčic -- Whitehouse apparently works for National Computational Infrastructure and did the visualizations)and they directly link to the study.
