'No matter what password you use, I will break it in a fraction of a second'

Prof. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Isaac Ben-Israel, one of the architects of Israel's cyber apparatus, tells the Jerusalem Post that quantum computing will wipe out today's encryption.

ON THE front line of the cyber war, Israel has become one of the world’s most targeted countries for cyberattacks, with state-backed hackers increasingly using AI to probe government networks, companies, and critical infrastructure.
