This is bad, if true: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/555
Take this with a grain of salt, it's a single author pre-print and needs to go through review, and there have been about 20 of those on eprint "proving" P=NP or P≠NP…
but if this holds, it could mean that lattice-based post-quantum crypto algorithms are broken.
Then we have error-correcting codes and hash-based signatures left. Especially the latter ones with stateful private keys are a huge footgun outside of HSMs.
