đš BREAKING NEWS: Quantum computers threaten exposed private keys rather than blockchains, Europol warns
Cryptocurrency wallets, rather than blockchains themselves, are the main point of exposure to future quantum-computing attacks, Europolsaid in a report publishedWednesday.
Quantum computers capable of carrying out such attacks do not exist yet, and Europol did not predict when they will. However, the European Unionâs law enforcement agency said âproactive adaptation, rather than systemic collapse, is the most likely outcome.â
Europol urged the industry to begin a phased transition now through wallet upgrades, post-quantum cryptography and coordination among developers, miners, exchanges and users.
Bitcoin researchers and institutions increasinglysee 2029 as the point by whichcredible quantum-resistant migration plans need to be in place. IBM saidin July that it expects quantum computingto generate significant commercial revenue in the next two to four three years.
