Am sure when the algo was devised it was known mathematically that a break would exist.
The issue goes beyond technology; since commercially there are millions of phones with pre programmed chips and micro controllers perhaps that won't be compatible with any new algo. I think that's the main reason why that algo still exists and with continue to exist for a while. So the change may take a while to phase in. Also, given what you know how many can exploit it? Infact the more interesting logical question is "how do u exploit it?"
