Quantum computing threat: Why global cybersecurity could collapse soon
\nThe world is appreciating breakthroughs happening in quantum computing, but they are unaware of imminent threats posed by advanced quantum computers.
\nNew research from the startup Oratomic and Google suggest that quantum computers could become a threat to global cybersecurity much sooner than previously anticipated, potentially before the end of the decade.
\nEfficiency breakthrough <\/p>\n

A study by Oratomic has proved that common encryption and authentication standards, such as P-256 security technology could be cracked with as fewer as 10,000 qubits, highlighting a massive reduction from previous estimates that cited that millions of qubits would be required to hack this technology.
\nDolev Bluvstein, who co-founded Oratomic and is one of the authors of the analysis, said, \u201cI had gone around giving talks saying that you needed millions of qubits\u201d to crack security technology.\u201d
\nThe team of researchers was surprised when they found out the sudden decline in the threshold. \u201cWe were quite surprised,\u201d Bluvstein added.
\n\u2018Quantum apocalypse\u2019 by 2029
\nEarlier this week, Google also issued a stark warning about the upcoming \u201cquantum apocalypse\u201d, describing how the world, including governments, financial institutions, and tech companies are unknowingly hurling towards cybersecurity collapse.
\nIn a blogpost, Google revealed that quantum computers pose a significant threat to \u201ccurrent cryptographic standards\u201d, culminating in the \u201c imminent apocalypse\u201d that could hack internet security sooner than later.
\nIn the wake of surging digital threats posed by quantum hackers, Google is planning to prioritise post-quantum cryptography migration for authentication services\u2014an important component of online security and digital signature migrations.
\nTherefore, Google has developed a more efficient algorithm that can crack cryptocurrency encryption. They have not released specific details of this secret algorithm, aiming to prevent bad actors from misusing it.
\nThe findings have shifted the consensus from a \u201cten-year-away\u201d problem to a matter of \u201crenewed urgency.\u201d
\nWhat\u2019s at the stake?
\nGiven the scale of vulnerabilities, the imminent threat could primarily target credit card systems, chip-and-pin devices, and cryptocurrencies.
\nBeyond just reading private messages, the hackers could impersonate computers through push notifications to deliver spam and malware.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
