"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" - and Nobody Cares

 


The quantum threat isn't some distant apocalypse.

It's happening now - just slowly enough that no one feels responsible.

Attackers are collecting encrypted data today, confident that tomorrow's quantum machines will crack it open like a cheap lock.

And why wouldn't they? Most defenders are busy chasing compliance checkboxes and pretending RSA will hold forever.

Everyone talks about “zero trust,” but they still trust 90s-era cryptography in a world that's moving toward post-truth, post-ethics, and soon, post-quantum.

The uncomfortable reality: 💀If your secrets can't survive a decade on ice, they're already compromised.

And if your org isn't even thinking about post-quantum resilience, it's not security - it's theater.

But hey, at least the slide decks look good.
