NSA has long since broken RSA

This is clearly referring to the algorithm. You don't "break" a company.

There is also little reason to bring up the RSA company at all, it is for all intents completely irrelevant.

Please just edit your root message to talk about the EC (Dual_EC_DRBG) that is not really in use anywhere but at least real and something security people know of.

If you say the nsa has broken rsa, you are making a lot of sysadmins sweat for no reason.
