The linked Twitter post saying "Sad to see such charlatans given a stage at Black Hat" was on August 2nd. Edit: and a paper critiquing the math was published July 2019: https://unprovable.github.io/drafts/Prime_Generation_For_Breaking_Crypto-5e.pdf https://unprovable.github.io/drafts/Prime_Generation_For_Bre...
