Post-Quantum Crypto Race Begins with Credential Security
Quantum computers threaten to break current public-key cryptography, putting encrypted credentials at risk. Though no quantum machine can yet crack RSA or elliptic curve encryption, hardware advances make the shift urgent. Organizations must start migrating to post-quantum algorithms now to protect future data.

This piece correctly identifies credentials as the low-hanging fruit for quantum attacks, but the real challenge will be retrofitting legacy systems—not just adopting new algorithms.
