For RSA the recommended key bit size these days is 3072 to 4096

There's no relevance to bitcoin (ecdsa)

I am not a tech person, so I’m curious what all this means? Are they able crack a pgp message? Or simply connect to public key to the private key? Or what is this? Also, how might if at all it affect Bitcoin private keys?

TIA
