While it was not deemed a fatal weakness at the time, cryptographers began recommending the use of other algorithms, such as SHA-1, which has since been found to be vulnerable as well.
Kuigi tol ajal ei peetud seda saatuslikuks, soovitasid krüptograafid teiste räsifunktsioonide kasutamist, näiteks SHA-1, milles hiljem avastati samuti vigu.
