It's not PGP that is uncracked, PGP is a set of tools built on top of RSA. RSA is still secure (other than brute force factoring) with appropriately sized keys.

The biggest problem with PGP isn't PGP itself, it's your opsec approach to everything else. Example... after decrypting a PGP payload - did you save it to disk unencrypted? Did the recipients to your messages save it unencrypted? Are any machines infected with keyloggers? PGP is a great tool, but still requires good opsec overall.
