Inventors of Quantum Cryptography Win Turing Award
Inventors of Quantum Cryptography Win Turing Award
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have won the 2026 Turing Award for inventing quantum cryptography.
I am incredibly pleased to see them get this recognition. I have always thought the technology to be fantastic, even though I think it’s largely unnecessary. I wrote up my thoughts back in 2008, in an <a href+https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2008/10/quantum_cryptography.html”>essay titled “Quantum Cryptography: As Awesome As It Is Pointless.”
Back then, I wrote:
While I like the science of quantum cryptography—my undergraduate degree was in physics—I don’t see any commercial value in it. I don’t believe it solves any security problem that needs solving. I don’t believe that it’s worth paying for, and I can’t imagine anyone but a few technophiles buying and deploying it. Systems that use it don’t magically become unbreakable, because the quantum part doesn’t address the weak points of the system...

EvilTokens Emerges as New Phishing-as-a-Service Platform for Microsoft Account Takeover
A new and dangerous phishing toolkit has entered the cybercrime scene. In early 2026, a Phishing-as-a-Service platform called EvilTokens began circulating in underground cybercrime communities, offering criminals a ready-to-use kit built to steal Microsoft 365 accounts. Unlike most phishing tools that mimic Microsoft login pages, EvilTokens takes a different approach — it abuses the legitimate […]

ChatGPT Vulnerability Let Attackers Silently Exfiltrate User Prompts and Other Sensitive Data
Users routinely trust AI assistants with highly sensitive information, including medical records, financial documents, and proprietary business code. Check Point Research recently disclosed a critical vulnerability in ChatGPT’s architecture that allowed attackers to extract this exact type of user data silently. By abusing a covert outbound channel in ChatGPT’s isolated code execution environment, attackers could […]
