RSA-576 Factored

Posted by michael on from the long-division dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I thought Slashdot would have picked this up several days ago, but apparently not. Although you still won't see any mention of it on the RSA challenge site, Mathworld is carrying the news that a team at the German Bundesamt fur Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik submitted a factorization of RSA-576 on December 3. RSA-576 is the smallest challenge number that RSA Security offers a cash prize for, to the tune of $10,000"
