If Quantum Computers Become Reality, Who Will Be Affected First?
1-> Banking Logins & Passwords
The first and most immediate impact will be on:
->Username–password systems
->Logins without OTP or multi-factor authentication
->Legacy encryption methods like RSA and ECC
* These systems would become comparatively easier to break using powerful quantum computers.
That is why banks, email providers, cloud services, and social media platforms would be at risk first.
2-> Traditional Banking & Internet Security
This includes:
->Online and mobile banking systems
->Debit and credit card infrastructure
->Government databases
->Digital identity systems such as National ID.
👉 If these systems are not upgraded in time, large-scale security breaches could occur.
*Because of this risk, governments and institutions are already working on post-quantum cryptography.
