RSA-896 Factored; Breaking RSA-1024 May Cost Only ~$30M

A factor of RSA-896 has been published, confirming the number has been factored. The reposter comments: don't panic — the question isn't whether RSA-1024 is broken, but who is willing to pay roughly $30M for the bragging rights. RSA-2048 is fine... except for the quantum thing.
