I disagree that the title is click bait. The AES standard is only defined for 128, 192 and 256 bits [1], but in the title the author mentioned breaking AES-1024.

So it is clear to technical readers that the title contains a joke, which will be explained in the article (the joke turns out to be poorly written software).

They could add some quote marks around AES-1024
