Researchers break into the final realm of Cryptographic keys; should we be afraid?

How far is this true?

The private key is very important and should be kept secret.

Two security researchers break RSA 4096 bit keys with ‘Phuctor’

Anvin is a Linux kernel developer and he is well known for his contribution to the open source community.

Then, he had found a huge number of vulnerable keys on that server which took him by surprise.

He feels that the major fault is with the generation and manipulation of these public keys.

In his blog post, Bock mentioned: However these keys should pose no threat to anyone.

Hence, it can be concluded that the RSA cryptosystem is strong and has not been broken yet!
