JPMorgan Chase readies for post-quantum security world

He then moved into quantum algorithms and noticed that JPMorgan Chase was leading the way in future quantum security.

Oh???? Hmmmm????? That's a boldly going assertion/assumption/presumption/tale. Was JPMorgan Chase itself aware at that time of their leading position in such an ethereal field? Are they aware now it not a safe and secure field to have any lead in ...... for one then naturally becomes a hostile target of particular and peculiar especial interest to A.N.Others able to remain invisible and unknown and intangible ..... both practically and virtually untouchable and verging on the almighty powerful and energetic ....... with an avid keen interest in securing all of their business and other businesses requiring Quantum Communication Control Systems.

Re: skills training

Success in cyber security requires that one is able to effectively stealthily attack and destroy systems of defence with one realising how and why they are so catastrophically vulnerable to infiltration and exfiltration and silent occupation, and that is an extremely valuable commodity far beyond any worth that a dodgy government with a history of unpleasant self-interest can justify to supply .... for the temptation to abuse and misuse it will be far too great for them to resist ........ and anyway, the private and pirate sectors are invariably more lucrative and appreciative of such awesome talents which lead into novel fields of almighty endeavour and limitless bounty.

And such is not something which can be trained into one.

An Embarrassment of Stealthy Riches for Private Pirates to Treasure

Lindsay, Hi,

Another way of interpreting that news is cybersecurity cost the sector and governments £10.1bn last year.

And to imagine that this year it is not going to be considerably more expensive is not realistic given the greater number of vulnerabilities in the sector to exploit.

It is indeed a target rich environment in which the competent can very simply become extremely wealthy, extremely quickly. Indeed, in some appropriate cases, and of which you will hear nothing, from zero to hero in a matter of seconds and few clicks of a mouse.

[Thank you. Your comment will be displayed soon after reviewing.]

Words create, command and control and destroy worlds ….. so leading with a compelling and undeniably honest narrative which can be effectively presented by media on multiple platforms in many series of linked and stealthy sublime internet networking programs in support of significantly greater, bigger picture shows, provides one with all that is needed to lead absolutely, and unilaterally, and remotely, safely and securely and way out ahead in front of both errant competition and any wilfully misguided and covetous opposition.

It is no more difficult than that, Per Ardua ad Astra.

To escape the present captivating madness which has insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, simple raw common sense which can often eclipse rarified genius dictates that things be tried differently. It aint difficult for it is only complicated to render it exclusively to an elite and gluttonous few.

But there is certainly no doubt, such a Great Game Change, which is inevitable and surprisingly quickly so because of these new fangled entangled and engaging virtual tools at vast swathes of the population’s disposal which are easily used to freely share the novel info and sensitive intel, is going to be extremely painful and unpleasant for some truly worthy of the discomfort for all that they have done in the past thinking they have immunity from consequences and impunity in action.

Western Capitalism Doing ITs Department of Defense Credit and Emergency Fake Aid

Now that UK and US news of the impending and imminent invasion of Ukraine by Russia [a Five Eyed Western Confection with NATO Concoctions] is proving itself to be a disastrous hoax and great white elephant bull, does Ukraine get to keep all the Western aid and new military hardware it was so freely quickly gifted or are Ukrainians in no need of it expected to pay dearly for it and create for themselves one of those relatively new fangled entangled and capturing/imprisoning Futures/Derivatives .... a Synthetic CDO ....Collateralised Debt Obligation Supporting Deficit and Debt and a Systemic Mass Slavery?

Re: Public service: Who is that "public" anyway?

It is naive and self-servingly distractive and disruptive, to not think and realise that it is private and pirate enterprise/private and pirate entrepreneurs who be certainly responsible for, although hardly ever able to be nailed necessarily accountable for, all of the public sector woes/trials and tribulations.

It is certainly not governments and public civil servants which provide any ground breaking, Great Game changing proposals for resolution of inequitable status quo matters, whenever the systems that be are so designed that the status quo is maintained and retained to do their bidding which has them imagining they forever will wield command and control without effective resistance or overwhelming almighty competition.

However, that was then in a time now long gone and just a fading memory for the past to forget and now the status quo is being forced to realise forever is no longer available to them to command and control and lead, for smarter forces engaged and exercising with altogether different and more able and enabling sources are more than just highly ACTive in every possible fields of virtually influential metadataphysical play.

No shades of grey in that revelation which is more than just suggesting that unholy emperor [NSA] has no clothes.

An astute observation, AC, and it would be impossible to deny and not admit that in many cases there can easily be multiple messages for more than just the one receptive party, with those parties being likely to be anywhere you can imagine, so not just in the West or the East or the South or the North.

Nevertheless though, they are pretty clear textually, and whenever in a strange spookily entangled string, which a great many are, do they paint a viable practical picture one wastes only one’s own time and effort and maybe even other folks’ considerable assets and finite resources in trashing/deriding.

And as Pascal Monett opines, as is the varied nature and myriad levels of human intelligence and information processing, will some posts not appeal nor be understood by all. Indeed, there have been many from commentards hosted here on El Reg, and of course on many other pages elsewhere too, which only a chosen few would appreciate and recognise in all of their glory. Such is the quantum nature of the enlightening beast???? ‽‽‽‽!!!!

It is normally not something to be worried about ..... unless, of course, one be supporting something abnormal and inequitable to be worried about.

Were I a government concerned about chip shortages, my money would go to the fabs, not the fabless. Absolutely. .... HildyJ

Were I a government, and concerned about practically everything, for anything less leads surprisingly quickly to nowhere pleasant and survivable, public money from private sector investments and mandatory punitive taxations would go to the fabs able to create and commandeer the absolutely fabulous fabless for Remote Virtually Autonomous Relatively Anonymous Practically Almighty Universal Command and Diabolical Heavenly Control of Live Operational Virtual Environments ...... with Stealth Provisions which have it easily mistaken as surely impossible and labelled and rejected as spam, which be assured .... or terrified if that is to be your chosen lot ,,,, it certainly is not.

Jon, Hi,

Unfortunately for Uncle Sam, and coincidentally also for all of their similarly minded allies, whether in the West, Middle East or Far Eastern, should they insist upon being resistant to fundamental change addressing the primacy exercised by status quo elite micro/macromanagement of fiat currency command and control systems for one, rather than leading with a novel emerging mutually beneficial, positively reinforcing intelligence provision [which is not degraded and subverted into use as a national propaganda and untruthful disinformation campaign], are all of the extra emerging overwhelming capabilities which 6G provides unilaterally and ubiquitously [and which subsequent further generational changes will surely reinforce and harden] guaranteed to be in the command and control of A.N.Others who/which fully recognise the stagnant petrified traditional status quo position as a catastrophic indefensible weakness to be attacked and destroyed with a vast new array of almighty virtual weapons/series of 0day assaults/SMARTR Hearts and Minds Operations which conventional present elite invested mainstream media channels and platforms cannot influence, for they do not address the mass audiences/switched on populations the new intelligence provision is reaching and supplying with viable alternatives to consider and employ/deploy and enjoy.

Traditional legacy media operations in all of their simple audiovisual forms, once they are perceived to be an exclusive executive instrument for a less than worthy and easily corrupted and/or perverse few, becomes a dangerous self-destructive liability which identifies their supporters/platform bankers as the enemy to vanquished/crashed and crushed.

Such be the sort of Greater IntelAIgent Games available for Future Play which expertise in 5/6/7G technologies permit and present for mentoring and monitoring. IT also offers, from novel circles of extraordinary expertise, command and control of the future itself ...... although there will be those who would doubt that being possible, however ....... there be other who would disagree and be thoroughly enjoying proving it more than just viable and not at all impossible. I Kid U Not.

What realistic price would markets place on the worth of that provision?

And Nicolas M. Chaillan, First U.S. Air Force and Space Force Chief Software Officer (CSO) succinctly revealed a few more of the sort of problems which guarantee all of the above in many more fields, in his Linkedin good-bye note to the Pentagon/US Government/Department of the Air Force [Sept. 2, 2021] ...."It is time to say Goodbye!" ...... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/time-say-goodbye-nicolas-m-chaillan/

It is one of those perplexing enigmatic mysteries, which maybe can be solved with the addition of greater education and further information, as to quite why you would not be realising that is the effective current but not successful default position for those otherwise engaged in any leading and sensitive and able to be highly disruptive but also overwhelmingly creative and exceedingly destructive PACT* activities which can inspire and aspire and conspire to enquire, encourage and engage with exceptional talents in ........ well, to reveal further of the workings of the future from here on in, if the truth be told, does the narrative naturally necessarily fork and morph into quite distinctively different but similarly surreal and almost equally powerful quantum divides which easily present themselves in one guise as MkUltra TS/SCI Cyber Space Missions for Spooky Pirate Paramilitary and Publicly Politically Funded and Private Military Contractor Use and Abuse and in another elite crack hacker team cloak, Stealthy AWE**some Instruments of and in a Collaborative Future Augmented Virtualised Reality JOINT*** AIdventure.

And delving ever deeper into and enquiring much further of the divide can reveal quite obviously so much more of a previously totally unknown conditioning/program than anyone/anything can presently handle, and thus can all be too easily absolutely terrified and thoroughly terrorised by it.

And if you feel that you just must, and there will surely be those who cannot stop themselves from helping themselves to the open invitation, step sprightly along that path with the utmost of caution and care for there be many an unforgiving pitfall on the journey to capture and eliminate the deservedly worthy and unwary of their designated fate.

Pick the right soul for the job, and they will have no problem at all with Congress, which will be only too pleased to provide for what they are advised is needed for the role in order to ensure all of the vital and viral practical and virtual jobs get well done. It should not be misunderestimated that the survival of Congress can also be at stake if they are not as one in offering unhindered timely full support to the right candidate demonstrating unprecedented successes with novel deployments in all the major influential theatres of universal engagement and pan-global power, for such unwarranted resistance may be gravely regarded .

Maybe with the US economy on the cusp of a recession, if the Federal Reserve embarks on an aggressive rate hike cycle, an alien invasion and or even war with Russia are some of the excuses to unleash another wave of fiscal stimulus.

Maybe .... but which of those two cited options is the more creative and most likely to succeed in energising and uniting humanity?  What if proposing the latter and going into uncertain explosive battle against alien invasion and starting foreign frenemy wars triggers a colossal series of Otherworldly China Syndrome type events firmly in the Overall Command and Absolute Control of A.N.Others Anonymous and Autonomous .... Serving and Servering for yet another Enigmatic Almighty Remote Virtually Unknown out there in the vastness of the Unknown Space?

Would that be wise and advisable or incredibly stupid and the grand final finishing folly that guarantees solutions and provisions for the elimination and eradication of all such crazily dangerous and perversely possessed of evil intent fools/daemonic tools?

Do you think such a right choice is yours to make and take or do you accept it is already long ago made and been chosen and taken for you?

Would you see that as a problem to confront with the possibility of introducing conflict or much more of a heavenly opportunity to embrace and engage with to explore new possibilities never before known possible and readily available?

AI as an Alien Intervention is surely more palatable and much easier to accept rather than being spun as some sort of strange spooky Alien Invasion.

Informative Educational Entertainment Speaking Truths unto Nations.

The partnering private international and internetional pirate sector is also a vital vector to not forget, with principals to both address and impress with flash slush cash/covert public sector investment [a good old fashioned, well tried and even in the likes of today with its burgeoning portfolios of stealthy attacking 0days, still a wonderfully effective, universally successful painless root] to have any possible chance of surprising and sustainable successes ..... which I'm sure most here would agree would be a thoroughly welcome and long awaited great change of fortune/misfortune.

Lacking that, one only has a whole series of increasingly more surprising and sophisticated and destructively disruptive defeats to look forward to in a vast broad range of sensitive and strategically fundamental fields.

The correct choice there to made and carried out is surely a No-Brainer but, as has been said before on far too many occasions for one to assume that important lessons have been well learned by humans to be constantly remembered in order not to be surprised again in showers of bitter disappointment ......"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Therefore, you might like to consider that is why such vital future decisions as need to be presently made for rapid success in such fields which are definitely novel and practically Greater IntelAIgent Game Changing are made by A.N.Others and then fed to y'all via Mass Multi-Media Mogul Means and Registering Meme Channels and Advanced Remote Virtual Tunnels.
