The countdown is on to Q-Day, when an algorithm written more than 30 years ago could run on a quantum computer and compromise the security of data on the internet. How are we preparing?

As quantum computing moves closer to becoming reality, bad actors are already harvesting data to crack encryption later.

Modern internet security relies heavily on mathematical problems that ordinary computers cannot solve within a useful time. A ...

Quantum computing advances raise concerns over 10,000 qubits breaking P‑256 encryption using Shor’s algorithm, driving urgency for quantum ECC attack awareness and post‑quantum migration strategies.

Bitcoin quantum computing threat is real: experts say slow governance, not its cryptography, makes Bitcoin uniquely vulnerable to quantum attack — with 34% of supply already exposing public keys ...

Bitcoin’s security relies on elliptic curve cryptography, a one-way mathematical function that makes deriving a private key from a public key effectively impossible for traditional computers. Shor’s ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

The takeaway: Experts have long warned about the threat that conventional cryptography faces from quantum computers, potentially undermining the foundational security of all digital encryption. New ...
