DeepMind AI agents break RSA-1024 cryptography more cheaply

Google DeepMind's AI agents, working with cryptographers, discovered cheaper methods to forge RSA-1024 signatures and factor keys. While RSA-1024 is deprecated in modern systems, the research demonstrates AI's growing capability in cryptanalytic attacks. Organizations still relying on RSA-1024 should prioritize migration to RSA-2048 or stronger algorithms immediately.
