DES cracked by teenagers?

[Steve Bellovin]

According to http://www.hk-imail.com/inews/public/article_v.cfm?articleid=28867&intcatid=1,
some teenagers "reportedly cracked an encryption technology called Data
Encryption Standard (DES)".  I'm skeptical, but I thought I'd toss it 
out.  Anyone have any details?
