Vitalik Buterin Warns Quantum Computing Could Undermine Crypto Security
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has raised concerns that the rise of quantum computing could disrupt the foundations of digital security and blockchain technology.
According to Buterin, the cryptographic protections that secure bank accounts, cryptocurrencies, and online communications may not withstand the power of future quantum processors.
While current systems resist attacks from classical machines, quantum computers could eventually crack private keys with ease – a scenario that threatens both financial stability and personal privacy.
Experts argue the challenge goes deeper than leaked data. Cryptographer Ian Miers recently emphasized that the real danger lies in system integrity. If quantum machines…
