I disagree that the title is click bait. The AES standard is only defined for 128, 192 and 256 bits [1], but in the title the author mentioned breaking AES-1024

I disagree that the title is click bait. The AES standard is only defined for 128, 192 and 256 bits [1], but in the title the author mentioned breaking AES-1024.
