“There, a robotic voice told them to find the prime numbers in the original image. By multiplying them together, the solvers found a new prime and a new website: 845145127.com.”

How do you find a prime number by multiplying anything? That was a good stopping point for me.

the author might of misunderstood that they simply multiplied the numbers but the answer wasn't a prime number because, 845145127.com is real, i went there, but right now it's blank

The product is not prime. The factors are.
