AES vulnerable but not broken yet!

Researchers from Microsoft and the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium have proved that the AES algorithm used in online transactions and wireless communications is vulnerable and can be broken in this article. I got my CISSP certification in the beginning of this year and learned all through that AES is the most powerful and unbreakable algorithm. Now we do need to make a note that this algorithm has now become brittle but not yet broken yet, as the technologies and resources available to carry out this task are still under construction!
