Europol warns cryptocurrency wallets of quantum computing attack risks

The European Police Organization has released a report stating that cryptocurrency wallet keys are the main exposure point for quantum attacks, as attackers can deduce private keys from exposed public keys and transfer assets. Glassnode estimates that 6.04 million Bitcoin public keys have been exposed, and holders need to migrate their assets to a new wallet before the attack occurs. The report also mentioned that protocols such as TLS, SSH, and OpenPGP face the risk of first collecting and then decrypting, and the immediate interception before transaction confirmation constitutes a direct quantum risk.
