Some people think it\u2019s a couple of years away. Others\u2014notably the researchers at ARK Invest\u2014say it won\u2019t arrive until 2044 at the earliest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hackers, however, aren\u2019t waiting for either of those dates. Instead, they are downloading whatever databases they can get their hands on, even if they cannot open them, and saving them for when commercial quantum computing makes it possible to decode the contents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The phenomenon is called \u201charvest now, decrypt later,\u201d and it looks like a business opportunity for TDK Ventures President Nicolas Sauvage, whose $500 million fund is looking to invest in cybersecurity defenses against the quantum hacking threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand that there are a lot of hackers who are downloading our information today on the premise that in the future, they can hack that data with quantum, and if you and your password, if your data is still valid by the time they hack it, they have access to everything. And so, for us, that probably means we&#8217;re getting at the point where we need to look at quantum security, making sure that we are prepared for when that moment comes,\u201d he told Fortune recently.<\/p>\n<p>He points to Salt Typhoon, the Chinese government\u2019s hacking operation which has harvested data from 200 or more companies in 80 countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [the threat] it&#8217;s enormous. You think about all your financial data, my financial data, your privacy, your emails, all of the things that are impossible to hack today. Economically\u2014I mean, everything is hackable\u2014but economically it could become hacked so quickly once quantum kicks in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sauvage thinks the point when everything that is not quantum-protected can be opened like an envelope is probably seven years away.<\/p>\n<p>THE SPORTS PAGEGoldman Sachs correctly predicted World Cup final<\/p>\n<p>On June 2, we made fun of Jan Hatzius and his folks at Goldman Sachs for the bonkers level of work they had put into their World Cup predictions. Today, we owe the Goldman team an apology: The bank\u2019s ultimate prediction\u2014that Spain would beat Argentina in the final\u2014was exactly right. Not all of their calls were correct, obviously. Turkey was bounced out almost immediately in the knockout stage, while Goldman had them facing Spain in the quarter-finals. The bank also thought Brazil would go all the way to the semi-finals, when in fact they were knocked out by Norway in the round of 16. But their final call, Spain v Argentina with the edge going to the Europeans, was exactly what happened. Here for posterity is their pre-cup prediction bracket:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>IRANIran vows to choke off Hormuz oil flow as U.S. death toll climbs<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. continued bombing Iran in a ninth straight night of attacks, and three American service members were reported killed in Iranian attacks on Iraq and Jordan\u2014yet Iran said talks between the two sides were ongoing.

Esther Perel, the famous therapist and author of \u201cMating in Captivity,\u201d believes AI, remote-hybrid working, and distributed global teams are causing a slow, invisible erosion of the everyday human contact that used to hold organizations together and build rapport among colleagues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is \u201csocial atrophy,\u201d Perel told Fortune\u2019s Sam Birchall. Professional relationships actually need physical proximity, she says.<\/p>\n<p>Blurred Zoom backgrounds are a particular bugbear for Perel. \u201cIn the early days of video calls, people were unintentionally visible in each other\u2019s homes, which paradoxically created more intimacy than the polished, decontextualized version we have now,\u201d she says. \u201cYou go on Zoom, nobody says hello, everyone\u2019s pretending to do something else while they wait so it doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019re just sitting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can only handle difficult and important conversations as a leader if you\u2019ve built up a foundation of small, insignificant ones first,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>#Harvest #decrypt #Hackers #steal #data #readbanking #quantum #crack<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udcec Would you prefer to receive this information in your email inbox every morning before&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[245],"tags":[4272,569,17453,1003,16433,8041,17452,376,166,1087,12759,17454,3415],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11541"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11541\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stock999.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
