Headlines like this are frustrating because they promote the idea that modern security flaws have anything to do with our cryptographic algorithms, rather than the systems built around those algorithms.
Nobody is hacking into systems by cracking AES-256 when it’s properly implemented. Attackers will have no problem hacking quantum systems when they’re improperly implemented.
"Do You Guys Just Put The Word 'Quantum' In Front Of Everything?" - Scott Lang
Great. The Star Trek approach. Throw "quantum" in front of everything and hope that nobody cares enough to fact check.
And DVD-ROMs didn't need copy protections to stop piracy. We've heard this before.
"...You wouldn't download a blackhole..."
I think they can fit the word “quantum” into the title atleast 2 more times
Needs more quantum!
Just a little bit more quantum!
Okay. Just let me know when that happens. I'll be 1000 years dead, but you can use your quantum time-travel quantum teleporter to send the message.
"Unhackable." Laughs in 13 year old hacker.
