Vlad made Phi Sigma Sigma

I think most experts agree that it will happen - which is why the field of post-quantum cryptography exists. It's just that those approaches can be implemented on a classical computer and thus, have already been implemented. So most experts agree that the risk from RSA eventually being broken is pretty low. The real concern is actually in historic unencrypted data that was (and still is...) being collected after we knew about the first working examples of Shor's algorithm but before these safety measures were established. Undoubtedly some bad actors are sitting around on mountains of stuff (i.e. PII, PHI, maybe state or trade secrets) to break the encryption on once that eventually becomes feasible years down the line.
