Bitcoin post-quantum shift may already be too late; $3 trillion in digital assets exposed to risk

Digital assets worth more than $3 trillion, including bitcoin, could be exposed to theft risk within the next 4 to 7 years, a report warned. Project Eleven, which studies post-quantum security, said quantum computers capable of breaking widely used public-key cryptography could arrive as early as 2030 and no later than 2033. It said systems relying on elliptic-curve signatures could be vulnerable across crypto, finance and digital identity networks.

LG Uplus speeds shift to non-face-to-face home services

LG Uplus is expanding non-face-to-face processing across home activations and after-sales service, handling more than 60,000 cases a month on average without on-site visits, or about 54 percent of total device returns and product-change activations. The company said remote processing has grown around device returns for cancellation customers and self-activation. It is extending the scope this year to simple after-sales service to reduce scheduling and waiting burdens.
