Has it definitively been broken?  I know I have read reports that it
is 'reported' to have been broken by a known group of individuals in
China - but details were still not released, nor has there been any
official word/release about it.

Has this status changed?  If so, got link?  Thanks,

I know SHA-1 has been broken.  What does this mean for SHA-n (for n <>
1)?  Are they significantly different algorithms, or something similar
but with longer key length?
