Not a very good article on the topic, which is something like a year old now. SHA-1 isn't nearly as broken as MD5, so far. The US Government was scheduled to replace SHA-1 even before she came up with the better attack. As I recall, the current best attack is something like a two chosen plaintext birthday collision attack, with around 67 bits of brute force. Ideal strength would be 80 bits. So, I would call SHA-1 "breaking", but not "broken".
