Karagiannis shifts the conversation from simple data exposure to the more devastating "Harvest Now, Forge Later" (HNFL) threat, where forged identities and compromised code-signing keys could cripple entire government agencies and financial institutions in mere days. We're beyond the "waiting game"; it’s time to bridge the gap between quantum physics and offensive security before our existing cryptographic foundations crumble.
