🔐 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In this issue, we tackle a fundamental and rather chilling question: 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙄 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮? A new paradigm is emerging. How much longer can you trust your cryptographic choices? 💡That’s our 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰. 
🏴‍☠️ 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲, Google is making progress on “𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘-𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣”, the costliest step of an attack on RSA. A genuine advance, but the cryptographic horizon stays where it was. (And if you don’t know what that is, we explain!)
