Titanic Prime whose Digits are all Prime/Historical Note

Historical Note on Titanic Prime whose Digits are all Prime

According to David Wells in his Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. of $1997$, this titanic prime was discovered by Harvey Dubner in $1988$, but this has not been corroborated.

At the time it was the largest such prime number known.

It needs to be investigated whether this record has been broken since then.

It was unfortunately misreported by Paulo Ribenboim as $7532 \times \dfrac {10^{1104} - 1} {10^4 - 1} + 1$, which is composite.

This mistake was propagated by David Wells, who repeated it in his Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. of $1997$.
