Quick question: how many passwords do you have right now?
Don't answer, it's rhetorical. The right answer is: too many to remember, not enough to protect you, and at least two that still say 'Fluffy2018'.
Now, more serious question: what would you do if I told you that within three to seven years. probably less. every one of those passwords, every digital lock you trust, every little padlock icon that makes you feel safe when you shop online. is going to be worth exactly as much as your New Year's resolution to go to the gym?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I'm not being dramatic. I'm not one of those YouTube fear merchants with ominous background music.
Okay, I have ominous background music. But that's for atmosphere, not deception.
This has a name. It's called Q-Day. Q for Quantum. Q for 'What do we do now?' And Q for 'Why didn't anyone explain this in plain English?'
