TypeScript 5.6: A Cheeky Review of New Features and Their Usefulness

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.
