The Y2K bug was nothing compared to this threat. This in combination with CPU back doors (that probably use encryption to gain access) means that all banking and commerce is at risk. The whole economy can be taken down by a corporation (or more likely a rouge government). Any computer made after 2008 (having the Intel ME) and connected to the internet is at risk.
Two things need to happen:
Secure computing. There needs to be a way to verify that CPU's and IC's don't have back doors.
All existing methods of communications need to switch to quantum resistant encryption.
no wonder nn and vdare dot com are blocked from the google news index holy fuck all i see are retarded trash heaps coming out their eyes, their ears, their... everywhere
To be clear, I’m sure D-Wave likely vets its customers rather carefully, and the company would not knowingly provide its quantum computing tech to an organization that appeared to be motivated by malicious intent.

No it isn't. The d-wave machine is not capable of breaking encryption at all, It is not a quantum machine in that sense.
