Forum:Prime Factorization Challlenge

I have watched a few videos on big numbers and I have found that prime numbers are used in today's encryption (RSA specifically, typically 1024 bit and 2048 bit keys are used, 2048 is now considered secure) because they are fairly easy to generate and easy to multiply, but become exponentially harder to factor on classical computers because the possibilities increases exponentially. The world factoring record for prime numbers is 768 bits, which means that 768 bit RSA cannot be trusted to keep data safe anymore. This factorization was done on multiple computers in 2009. Although the official RSA prime factorization challenge was withdrawn, I am starting up a new factorization challenge starting with 288 bit numbers because of this withdrawal. Here is a 288 bit number:
