Q-Day — the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption — could happen in the next decade according to cybersecurity experts. That means everything could become vulnerable, for everyone. @WIRED has the story. #Cybersecurity #QDay #Tech #Technology #DataPrivacy https://flip.it/stmSHG

RSA may already be broken via classical computing, but you just do not know that yet.

Seems safer to just migrate to ECC now.

@TechDesk@flipboard.social @WIRED Sorry but ECC is not safe from quantum attacks, either. We need to switch all public key cryptography to new quantum resistant algorithms, ML-DSA (formerly known as dilithium), and ML-KEM (fka CRYSTALS-KYBER).
