Is this number used for factoring challenge only? Lets say one day a VERY VERY lucky guy just GUESS the factor P and Q correctly will there be any security issue in the world. Is anyone using this particular RSA 2048 for anything?

My initial thought was that this number was extremely important but I guess it is just one of the many RSA 2048 out there. Cracking this one by luck doesn't mean much right?
