QUANTUM COMPUTERS ARE NOT YET POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CRACK ENCRYPTION
---
A Current Security Risk is that Data is Being CAPTURED and Stored for WHEN Quantum Computer Technology is Capable of Decrypting it.
---
A quantum computer in the next decade could crack the encryption our society relies on using Shor's Algorithm.
