(Random, interesting tidbit)
The day has finally come. SHA-1 collision is feasible (well, with quite some resources, but still)!

Now, not really much need to be alarmed, SHA-1 has been known to be 'not good enough' for a long time; those who are still using it are knowingly playing with fire. Everyone should be using at least SHA256 when security is required.
Which brings us to the real question...when will SHA256 fall? That will be a scary day indeed if it comes sooner than expected
