    Not something that can be used on today's home computers.

    I've never bought that these Quantum Computers will even exist, or at least work as speculated in the first place. It's science fiction IMO.

    No, the threat is the same as it's always been... turning people to snitch to bring down systems, like we saw recently with Alphabay & Hansa Market on the deepweb. That will always be the threat. Quantum computers are probably about as far away from reality as Star Trek transporters and warp speed.
