I didn't say it was "easy". All I said is that it is possible, with enough resources, to crack keys. I very much doubt that the NSA would be interested in cracking the key of the GPCode virus, since they are more directed to the National Security of the US. As for other governments, if they have large networks of supercomputers, and cryptanalysis experts, then it would probably be just as probable that they could crack any key from any publicly used cipher algorithm.
