What the video says
"Your encrypted crypto is being stolen today," warns the G7 Cybersecurity Working Group. They urge immediate migration to post-quantum cryptography, as hackers harvest data now to decrypt later using powerful quantum computers.
Bitcoin developers are considering BIP-360 to support new signature schemes, while Ethereum plans to rebuild its deposit contract. Solana is testing post-quantum signatures on a testnet, preparing for the quantum-enabled cyberattacks the G7 warns are coming.
