Quantum Cracks RSA: How Close Are We to Crypto’s Nightmare?

China’s 22-bit quantum decryption milestone signals real progress toward breaking internet and blockchain security.

A Chinese research team used a D-Wave quantum computer to factor a 22-bit RSA key—surpassing previous limits and signaling progress toward breaking modern encryption standards, raising alarms about future threats to both internet and crypto security, even though current cryptocurrencies mainly rely on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC); both RSA and ECC remain vulnerable to future quantum-powered attacks.

Crypto hacks are becoming an everyday thing. Traders and investors only care about security after they get hacked. Don’t be one of them. Protect your digital assets at all costs! Use the most secure crypto wallet.
