The world has known for decades that the RSA cryptosystem’s days are numbered. Once quantum computing becomes practical (estimates for that range from 3 to 20 or more years), the foundational security ...
RSA keeps getting factored. The question is what each new result tells us about the security of the encryption we still use: ...
Early on Thursday morning technical researcher Eric Lu sparked worldwide excitement and confusion by posting a sequence of 130 digits on X (formerly Twitter). The reason for the uproar over some ...
Eric Lu, an engineer at Cognition, factored the 260-digit RSA-260 semiprime from the 1991 RSA Factoring Challenge and shared one 130-digit prime factor on September 3, 2026. The post's simplicity ...
Teenagers want a greater voice in the design and governance of platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, according to new research led by University College Dublin. Rather than passive victims ...
Mexico is hosting the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As one of three co-hosts of this tournament in North America, it was the Mexican side that got the honor of the very first game. They'll ...
The encryption protecting most of the internet is expected to become vulnerable to sufficiently advanced quantum computers. RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, which secure online banking, email, ...

The encryption protecting global banking, government communications, and digital identity does not fail when a quantum computer is finally built. It fails the moment adversaries acquire enough quantum ...
This year’s RSAC delivered on its anticipated emphasis on AI but with some surprises as to how CISOs should rethink approaches to governance, team structure, and reporting to the board. Writing a ...
I am an IT Student with keen interest in Cyber Security , AI/ML and Quantum Computing . The digital world as we know it rests on a mathematical foundation that has remained largely unchallenged for ...
