Apple to update its messenger to prevent quantum hacks

Apple will introduce a new type of iMessage security in the next version of iOS to protect against future hacking technologies.

Here's What We Know

The new cryptographic security protocol, known as PQ3, will protect against quantum hacking attacks. This is likely a sign that tech companies are preparing for a potential breakthrough in the development of quantum computing.

Many companies and governments are now concerned about the possible development of quantum computers. Apple claims that its new encryption algorithm is the most advanced on the market and will be able to withstand the most sophisticated attacks. To date, no successful hacking using quantum technology has been recorded.

The company's actions come as policymakers in Washington discuss and prepare for the moment when quantum computers will be able to break all current forms of encryption.
