Irresponsible journalism at its worst, and you obviously don't know enough about cryptography
to understand the issues here. SHA-1 has not been cracked, the researchers have simply
determined that rather than finding collisions in 2*80 they can find them with 2*69. While
that is 2048 times easier to find a collision, SHA-1 has not been cracked at all. I'd suggest
that rather than reading the news you spend some time researching cryptography.

I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
