#12I am seeing more Post Quantum safety measures suddenly, than ever before. I know this was a topic from at least a decade, but it looks like a sudden interest across industry. Did something change? It looks like there was some breakthrough in quantum computers scaling and everyone if given some time before making it public. What could be the reason for this?
