im honestly not really surprised anymore. i fully expect to see a lot more of these types of bugs in the coming years

    Just wait for quantum computers to take off, our current encryption can be broken with them

    our current public key encryption will be broken. symmetric encryption will be fine

    absolutely. a lot of currently in use public key schemes may be broken with those. more recently there have been a few newer algorithm such as kyber that do have a chance to hold. think NIST is also holding a bit of a competition, but dont quote me on that. i really dont know alot about post-quantum crypto
