Uh, if 1024-bit RSA was broken, the world of encryption security would collapse (at least for the short term). Could it happen? Sure, it's possible. Will it happen in time to save your pr0n collection? Highly unlikely.
For one thing, compromise of RSA encryption would render SSL useless.
Uhhh,wrong. From his comment, the scum only had a single public/private key pair. Once you get the private key, all encrypted files would be decryptable. No one cracked RSA (i.e. broke the algorithm)
Oh, and another thing....RSA is a (only one) company that provides cryptographic libraries, software and services. SSL is not dependent upon RSA algorithms, as other algorithms can be used. Not a strong linkage between RSA and SSL, so please don't act as though they are the same...or even linked strongly.
