New RSA number factored

Eric Lu announced on X today that he has factored RSA-260, a number N with 260 digits (862 bits) that is the product of two large primes [1]. RSA numbers are challenge problems posed to gauge the security of RSA encryption, which rests on the difficulty of factoring large numbers [2]. The naming scheme is confusing because RSA-n might have n digits or n bits. For example, RSA-768 is smaller than R
