Comment on Here’s the paper no one read before declaring the demise of modern cryptography

It seems the RSA-155 (512 bit) encryption commonly used in the 90s was broken in 1999, no quantum needed (due to it being based on primes).

Though from what I can search up, reddit users from 10 years ago were confident a 128 bit modern algorithm (e.g. AES) would never be able to be brute forced, even by quantum computers.

I dunno, sometimes I wonder if not everyone on the internet is an expert.
