We’re still at least a decade away from a machine with enough qbits to do it. So i feel like we should be fine.
It’s the fucking Credit Bureaus, Telecoms, and Energy Companies I worry about. They keep fucking up.

Anyone who complies with the NIST standards is in a good place.
The problem is that a lot of places are not in compliance with NIST standards.
I know, I’ve helped patch them.

Yep, but we’ve got at least a decade to do it, and when new systems are stood up yhey "should be in compliance.

Based on my experience if we say it needs done in a decade it will never be done.

FORTRAN could be said to be security through obscurity though /s
