Well just stumbled across this http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57616205-83/security-firm-rsa-took-millions-from-nsa-report/ Isn't rsa one of the encryption algorithms that pgp and gpg relies on?
Anyone else worried about this

[1 Points] None:

4k encryption was just cracked by NSA like a week ago anyway.
It's not rsa itself that a problem, they took money for a poor random number generator for their products, including their own rsa implementation I think. So this won't affect other forms of it. That's not saying there aren't other problems set up by the NSA, mind.
