🤖 Google Quantum AI warns that breaking ECC-256 — a widely used cryptographic standard — may require far fewer resources than previously thought: <500K qubits and minutes of runtime.

📝 ECC-256 underpins security for many systems, including Bitcoin wallets and other blockchain infrastructure.

The company urges a rapid shift toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to stay ahead of potential risks.

While practical quantum attacks aren’t here yet, the gap is narrowing — and the industry may need to upgrade its foundations sooner than expected. 🧐
