NOPE, you're wrong
 
it's not hours

you should now go shoot whoever told you that lie.


a 1024 bit RSA is very very secure, tho i wouldnt use it if your trying to 
get anything like the life expectancy or plutonium out of it.  It'll be 
secure for a long long time.


try years not hours.


just think how long it took them to crack *ONE* modulous of it on a bunch 
of different computers witha  whole shitload of power.  And then realize 
that is only *ONE* modulous out aof an almost infinite amount.


try factoring some massive primes sometime, you'll see
