Post on X relays claim that DeepMind agents found faster attacks on 1024-bit RSA

According to a post on X by @TechThought_org, citing @IntCyberDigest, autonomous agents from Google DeepMind uncovered two attack paths on 1024-bit RSA. The post says these make signature forging nearly 1,600 times faster and bulk factoring about 30 times cheaper. The same posts state that RSA-2048 is still considered safe. This is a relayed report, and no DeepMind post on the claim appeared in the source list.

Citing @IntCyberDigest, TechThought says autonomous agents from Google DeepMind uncovered two attack paths on 1024-bit RSA, making signature forging nearly 1,600 times faster and bulk factoring about 30 times cheaper. The posts say RSA-2048 is still considered safe; this is a relayed report, and no DeepMind post...

Organizations that still rely on 1024-bit RSA keys would face the most direct pressure if these claims hold, while RSA-2048 is reported as still safe. Security engineers should watch for a primary DeepMind publication or independent cryptographic analysis that confirms the figures. Until then, the claims should be treated as unconfirmed.
