RSA-260 Factorized
Researchers have successfully factored the 260‑bit RSA-260 challenge, a key size once deemed secure. Using advanced lattice‑based techniques and distributed computing, the team broke the 2^260‑sized modulus, demonstrating that 260‑bit RSA is no longer safe. The result highlights the need to move to larger key sizes and reassess legacy systems that rely on RSA‑260 for encryption.
