No, it's just some fancy tricks with collisions. A preimage attack is still far beyond our current technologies

- kevincox 10y agoIt's important to note that technologies here means not only our hardware technologies but also our cryptographic knowledge. There is a chance that there are unknown flaws in the MD5 algorithm that make preimage attacks far easier to compute. Our compute power is also growing cheeper, which would let us solve harder preimage problems.
