Not at all surprising, considering the wording of Rocke's press release.
I caught the Headline News mention of the DES crack and it unfortunately put the wrong spin on things.
I can't remember it word for word, but it went like this: "If you're going to decrypt financial transactions you'd better be prepared to get 1000 computers and spend 3 months on the project."
The report was delivered with a hint of a smile, as if to suggest that the time and resources might have been better spent.
*Sigh*
