Quantum computing bombshells that are not April Fools

Quantum-computing research indicates that elliptic-curve cryptography, which protects crypto wallets, could be broken with far fewer resources than previously thought—about twenty times less. New advances in quantum hardware and algorithms are raising the threat level to these cryptosystems. The findings suggest urgent attention to post-quantum alternatives.
