I think the threat here's been overstated slightly, you'd still need to go some to use whatever's been stolen for any sort of large scale compromise - still not good though.

That and these things are often used as a 2Factor authentication system.

You'd also still need to compromise the other authentication factor such as a password or a pin.

The RSA algorithm is pre-defined anyway. No dramas.
