ETH Vulnerable? Schnorr, claims .. (new exploit) destroys the RSA cryptosystem

“ A recent paper, “Fast Factoring Integers by SVP Algorithms” by Claus P. Schnorr, claims significant improvements in factoring that “destroys the RSA cryptosystem”.”

“ Claus Peter Schnorr recently posted a 12-page factoring method by SVP algorithms. Is it correct?”

From what I am seeing this could be big if true/correct.. I’m not seeing any mention of it here yet..
I assume this is the same “Schnorr” as in “Schnorr signatures”?

Does this mean anything to Bitcoin or other coins that use different algorithms?
A laymen’s explanation could also be very helpful to many here (including me)..

“ cryptocurrencies have shunned RSA in favor of signatures based on elliptic curves, initially ECDSA and later moving towards pairing-based cryptography. Ethereum is the lone exception, having added native RSA support with EIP-198. “

So maybe it will kill ETH..

If this is true, that RSA encryption is basically cracked, how bad would it hurt ETH?
