The Quantum Threat: Understanding 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later' Attacks and Their Implications

Cybercriminals are increasingly patient, recognizing that your data holds value not just in the present but also in the future. This is the driving force behind the rise of "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) attacks.

In HNDL attacks, hackers steal encrypted data today and store it until quantum computers advance enough to break current encryption methods. This means that your medical records, financial information, and personal communications could be compromised now, only to be decrypted years later, jeopardizing your privacy, identity, and business secrets when you least expect it.

Why Is This Important Now?

While quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking encryption on a large scale, advancements are occurring rapidly. Organizations and individuals who overlook this looming threat risk facing significant breaches of confidential data in the future, often without any prior warning.
