Hey, im not sure if this is old news but i found this on google could this lead to anything? :sweatdrop:

I'm not so tech savvy about what means what, but I do know that 1024 bits is a nice chunk of encryption to be hacked by what I would have to say is more than likely luck. I wonder if any games use this encryption? I honestly wouldn't know.
