I write code, raise boys, and play music. I'm a recovering security professional.

As of 2026-03-02, the state of the art in quantum decryption has cracked a:

The IBM QC that cracked the 6-bit key uses 133 qubits.
Some new research suggests that RSA-2048 could be cracked with as "few" as 100,000 qubits.
Such a machine...is not feasible to build any time soon.
So when your CISO or a vendor starts going off about "post-quantum" security, feel free to use this to remind them that we still have SMB1 in some places and Telnet in others. Plenty of work to do around the house.
How much risk is there in an adversary intentionally triggering satellite collisions to trigger Kessler syndrome? It sounds like satellites are actively maneuvering to avoid collisions in increasingly high traffic orbits.
How much risk is there that a communications outage could trigger collisions when ground control cant command important evasive maneuvers?
