A group of Chinese researchers have just published a paper claiming that they can—although they have not yet done so—break 2048-bit RSA. This is something to take seriously. It might not be correct, but it’s not obviously wrong. We have long known from Shor’s algorithm that factoring with a quantum computer is easy. But it takes a big quantum computer, on the orders of millions of qbits, to factor anything resembling the key sizes we use today.

After a year that saw massive ransomware attacks and open cyber warfare, the biggest question in cybersecurity for 2023 will likely be how much of those attack techniques get commoditized and weaponized. “In 2022, governments fought wars online, businesses were affected by multiple ransomware gangs, and regular users’ data was constantly on hackers’ radars,” said NordVPN CTO Marijus Briedis. 2023, he predicted, “will not be any easier when it comes to keeping users’

The technique began in the Chinese underworld, and it amounts to an unusually protracted form of social engineering. The analogy is with fattening up a pig, then butchering it for all it’s worth. In this case the analogy is wayward, since the criminal doesn’t really fatten up the pig, not that much, anyway, but it works at least this far: they develop the marks slowly, and they get the marks to fatten up the accounts they ultimately drain.
