The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as RSA.
Https is encrypted but it uses TLS which is a method thats pretty crackable with quantum computers as far as im aware
No. Current TLS ciphers and key exchanges, are EXTREMELY FAR from "pretty crackable" with anything, quantum or otherwise, especially when considering the lifetime of the keys are so
short. The only entities we can reasonably foresee as capable of performing any kind of quantum cracking in the future are going to be global superpowers (arguably only the US and China).
But the keys to all TLS transactions are based in root CAs, and nearly all of those are subject to US/western intelligence jurisdiction. There's no need for the state to crack RSA to compromise TLS. Look into how chain of trust works.
Because the traffics encrypted it cant be injected with malicious or otherwise stuff
MITM has been commercialized, it's basically what Cloudflare does. If a host is behind CF your connection is only encrypted to CF, which then decrypts and re-encrypts the connection from itself to the host. Cloudflare is busy swallowing up the internet, so it's not just state-level attacks that can openly compromise TLS with zero cracking required. VPNs can't protect you from this, either.
The encryption is nice too but like i said it wont be secure for much longer so theyll have to update it soon to another protocol.
I'm sure you have good intentions, but you shouldn't be making statements like this.
