The quantum computing threat: why global cybersecurity could soon collapse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The world is appreciating the progress being made in quantum computing, but they are unaware of the imminent threats posed by advanced quantum computers. <\/p>\n

New research from startup Oratomic and Google suggests that quantum computers could become a threat to global cybersecurity much sooner than previously thought, potentially before the end of the decade. <\/p>\n

A study by Oratomic has proven that common encryption and authentication standards, such as P-256 security technology, can be cracked with less than 10,000 qubits, marking a huge reduction from previous estimates that millions of qubits would be required to hack this technology. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a conversation saying you need millions of qubits to crack security technology,\u201d said Dolev Blubstein, who co-founded Oratomic and is one of the authors of the analysis. <\/p>\n

The team of researchers were surprised when they discovered a sudden drop in the range. \u201cWe were quite surprised,\u201d Bluvstein said. <\/p>\n

‘Quantum Apocalypse’ by 2029<\/span><\/h2>\n

Earlier this week, Google also issued a dire warning about the upcoming \u201cquantum apocalypse,\u201d detailing how the world, including governments, financial institutions, and tech companies, is unknowingly headed toward cybersecurity collapse. <\/p>\n

In a blogpost, Google revealed that quantum computers pose a significant threat to “current cryptographic standards”, culminating in an “imminent apocalypse” that could soon lead to hacked Internet security.<\/p>\n

In view of the growing digital threats posed by quantum hackers, Google plans to prioritize post-quantum cryptography migration for authentication services \u2013 a critical component of online security and digital signature migration.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Google has developed a more efficient algorithm that can crack cryptocurrency encryption. They have not released specific details of this secret algorithm, which is intended to prevent bad actors from abusing it. <\/p>\n

The findings have shifted the consensus from a “ten-year-old” problem to an issue of “renewed urgency”.<\/p>\n

what’s at stake? <\/span><\/h2>\n

Given the scale of the vulnerabilities, the imminent threat may primarily target credit card systems, chip-and-PIN devices, and cryptocurrencies. <\/p>\n

Beyond simply reading private messages, hackers can impersonate computers via push notifications to deliver spam and malware. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
