Don’t panic just yet: DeepMind’s agent found two new weaknesses in older 1024-bit RSA, making signature forgery theoretically about 1,600 times faster under specific conditions.
The real-world results were less dramatic: reproducing a previously solved benchmark problem saved only 3.5 times the computing power. Current keys are unaffected—the headline alone is enough to cause a panic.
