Prime Mistake

From the Zdnet News article on the discovery of a faster completely deterministic method of determining the primality of a number:

To create encryption keys, RSA uses two huge prime numbers and multiplies them together to produce an even bigger prime. Testing then confirms whether it is in fact a prime number.

I’m guessing the result is it’s not a prime.
