10% chance of ECC being broken by 2028 according to Grok + prompted by a question from Elon - what do we think about this? ![IMG_2772](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/project_eleven/original/1X/94f3d4e70c65a670bbe21d7fce5dff9c8ced8897.jpeg) ---

I think this is just an example of how common the misconception is around the impact of quantum computing versus different types of cryptographic primitives. FWIW I think what Elon and other _refer to_ when they say “SHA-256” is cryptography, generally. But the problem is that it muddies the water significantly around the actual problem. ---

This is also the case across a lot of the security industry right now. There is a lot of FUD, confusion, hype, and marketing that even for security and cryptography professionals this is a fairly common misconception.
