In a first, cryptographic keys protecting SSH connections stolen in new attack

Resear first have found that a large portion of cryptographic keys used to protect data in computer-to-server SSH traffic are vulnerabl SSH o complete compromise.

The researchers used their findings to calculate the private portion of almost 200 unique SSH keys they observed in public Internet scans taken over the past seven years.
