I love how it did not at all explain what they broke. It mentioned "rectangle"? Whats that? How does it have any relation to AES? Because AES is NOT vulnerable to quantum computing. Did they get the key by knowing the ciphertext and the original data?
Yeah, appears propaganda-y, they even mention that "Despite the slow progress in general-purpose quantum computing, which currently poses no threat to modern cryptography", very weird. Supposedly used Canadian technology.
Canadian technology? So they politely asked for the private key then
