Adversaries are capturing encrypted government and defense communications today, intending to decrypt them once quantum computers are powerful enough. This attack is called Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL), and it is already confirmed to be happening. ‍

Every one of those apps got an AI assistant this year. None of them got any closer together.
