In this episode, we dive deep into the world of React security. Whether you're new to React or a seasoned developer, there's something here for everyone. We’ll cover essential security best practices, why Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is still a thing (and how React helps), the dangers lurking in third-party libraries, and how to manage tokens like a pro. Plus, we’ll explore the often-overlooked risks of Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and how to avoid them. If you’re building with React and care about keeping your app safe, you won’t want to miss this!

Securing Your React Apps: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Microsoft's Majorana 1 breakthrough signals a new era of quantum computing, rendering current encryption standards obsolete. Nation-states are stockpiling encrypted data, anticipating quantum decryption capabilities, thus creating a silent cyber war. The development highlights the urgent need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to counter exponentially advancing quantum capabilities. Businesses and governments must transition to quantum-resistant protocols and adopt a zero-trust model to protect against future threats. The article suggests the implementation of algorithms such as CRYSTALS-Kyber, while also acknowledging and providing mitigation strategies for potential weaknesses like side-channel attacks and standardisation risks. Ultimately, the future hinges on quantum supremacy, raising concerns about who will control this technology.

Quantum Computing is No Longer a Dream—It’s a Weapon.
