encryption's y2k moment is actually just... now
Posted by tomspark
so apparently quantum computing breaking current encryption isn't some distant sci-fi problem anymore — it's closer than people thought. the wild part is how many systems are still running on crypto that's been known to be vulnerable for years. feels like we're watching everyone procrastinate on the homework that's due next week. what's your actual threat model here — are we talking about bad actors harvesting encrypted data now to decrypt later, or is this more about people finally realizing their "secure" systems are held together with duct tape?
