What’s the tech behind the record-breaking RSA-260 crack?

Early Thursday, Eric Lu made waves in the tech world by posting a 130-digit sequence that divides RSA-260. This achievement is significant because RSA numbers are crucial for encryption, and cracking one is no small feat. Interestingly, Lu claims he used nothing but 'good old paper and pencil' to find the prime factors, which is quite a bold statement! This breakthrough is the largest RSA number ever factored, sparking excitement and curiosity about the future of cryptography.
