"Last weekend, an independent researcher found that the weak keys could be reverse-engineered possibly with AI-assisted techniques."
Your private key was the number 4. Your fucking private key, which is supposed to be a 115 digit number, was the fucking number 4. As in, the fourth key a very naive first analysis would try. But sure scary scary AI did it.
I independently recovered the private key, without any AI assistance, on Monday evening. Not because I was involved in the incident, just because I was curious and had a little bit of free time on my hand.
