If you like your electricity, BEWARE!-----Power Operators Must Plan Now for Four Quantum Attacks - Watts Up With That?

The U.S. government is increasingly concerned about the potential for quantum computing-based attacks. -  Eddy Zervigon

What makes this threat so concerning is that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers will be able to break the public key cryptography that underpins nearly everything that keeps a power plant or utility secure, ranging from encrypted data to authorized users and devices, and control system commands and readings.

• Recent estimates put cryptographically-relevant machines as early as 2029, and the timeline could compress further as nation-states pour billions into the race.

Executives must prioritize these risks now...
