the much-hailed 100% secure quantum encryption system has been hacked by a team of researchers from MIT!

they managed to extract about half the data sent over a network using a type of quantum mechanical wiretap.

this flaw will soon be patched up but it shows that theres still no such thing as secure with quantum computing at present.

personally, i don't care what anyone says about how good quantum computing will be - an absolutely 100% percent unhackable secure system will NEVER make it onto the open market.

Hello, im a pc, Hello im a 100% secure quantum encryption system. Doesn't really have the same ring to it.

As long as systems are designed by humans, i doubt we will ever see 100% secure system.

Im sure that quantum service pack 2 will make everything ok. Just make sure it is a genuine quantum system you are running it on.
