Nation-states and criminal groups are stockpiling encrypted data today, banking on quantum computers to crack it open in the future—exposing everything from medical records to state secrets. This 'harvest now, decrypt later' strategy could retroactively unravel digital privacy on an unprecedented scale. We dive into the technical realities, migration challenges, and urgent defenses needed before Y2Q arrives.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) leverages the laws of physics to create eavesdropper-proof encryption, rendering even quantum computers powerless against secure communications. With breakthroughs in satellite-based QKD and BlackBerry's architectural legacy, a global quantum-secure network is emerging—transforming how we protect data across continents.

A $25.5 million deepfake scam against Arup engineering firm highlights a world where AI excels at detecting fake humans while humans falter, sparking crises in cybersecurity and identity. As quantum defenses roll out and consciousness debates rage, we're forced to ask: What does 'authentic' even mean when behavior is performative and machines might 'suffer'?
