How do you know they failed? If they succeeded, they wouldn't tell you
about it.

One of the basic tenets of applied cryptology is that cracking a code
is only useful until your target becomes aware that his code has been
cracked. At that point, he will either switch codes, or start feeding
you misinformation with the code that's been compromised.

Frankly my friend, you're losing credibility with each post you make.
Not only do your technical explanations make no sense, you don't seem
to have much of a grasp on how encryption is used in the real world.
