Considering a large portion of cryptography is based around large prime numbers being incredibly hard to find, I find it hard to believe anybody has found a significant pattern in them. That’s kind of the whole point.

Can you link to what you’re talking about?

Unfortunately I cannot find this article about patterns in prime numbers. I remember it was pretty technical but apart from the general idea I'm not able to provide anymore details.
