There have been similar "security breaches" where someone did indeed gather a lot of public RSA keys and successfully factored some of them using Euclid's algorithm.
I believe the weakness was that a lot of implementations didn't use "random enough" RSA key generators (by using a cryptographically secure random number generator) and this resulted in some ...
