It's not broken.
It IS broken, because the effort of finding a collision now is below the effort of using brute force, 2^64 vs 2^80. The same applies to a cipher, if the effort to find a key is below brute force it is broken, it's that simple. How feasible a real world attack is, is something different, but for a cryptographer SHA-1 is broken. Malte
