Researchers found a new way to steal SSH encryption keys

The exploit leverages minor computational errors naturally occurring during the SSH handshake. Fortunately, it only works for RSA encryption. Unfortunately, RSA algorithms account for about one-third of the sites tested. Out of roughly 3.5 billion signatures examined from public websites scanned over the last seven years, about one billion used...
