A group of Chinese researchers have just published a paper claiming that they can—although they have not yet done so—break 2048-bit RSA. This is something to take seriously. It might not be correct, but it’s not obviously wrong. We have long known from Shor’s algorithm that factoring with a quantum computer is easy. But it takes a big quantum computer, on the orders of millions of qbits, to factor anything resembling the key sizes we use today.

In this case the analogy is wayward, since the criminal doesn’t really fatten up the pig, not that much, anyway, but it works at least this far: they develop the marks slowly, and they get the marks to fatten up the accounts they ultimately drain.
