Just read on /. (http://slashdot.org/articles/02/09/26/1449257.shtml?tid=93)


After over four years of effort, hundreds of thousands of participants, and millions of cpu-hours of work, Distributed.net (http://www.distributed.net) has brute forced the key to RSA Security's (http://www.rsasecurity.com/) 64 bit encryption challenge (http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/challenges/index.html), winning a US$10,000 prize. RSA's PR release is here (http://www.rsasecurity.com/news/releases/pr.asp?doc_id=1400)
