The "quantum cliff" is coming sooner than you think. State secrets, financial information, medical records, private communications—all umasked. Forever.

First accessible by states & corps, then criminals, then everyone.

@jesse & I discussed it in our book The Secret Life of Data: http://www.secretlife.cc

@teledyn @aram @jesse @WIRED The only other entity that could have added the journalist, barring greater compromise of their devices (remote access), is Signal. Something tells me they didn’t do that given Signal would go from however many people they have using their service to roughly zero overnight if it ever came out that they did. So, yeah, one of the blockheads in the group added the journalist.
