FPGA cluster brute-forces DES in record time
Even that isn't true. Deep Crack took 56 hours (matching the "less than three days" claimed in the article), while the combined Deep Crack + Distributed.Net effort took less than 24 hours.

Pico Computing has announced that it has achieved the
highest-known benchmark speeds for 56-bit DES decryption,
with reported throughput of over 280 billion keys per
second achieved using a single, hardware-accelerated server.
