if you want to help Ukraine this season, there’s something you can do Don’t forget about us When you sing, Carol of the bells are enjoy it send a donation If you’re weird uncle says something negative about Ukraine you can say we agree on one thing but on this we do not. Say a prayer and back it up with force my Christian brothers

Today American Soldiers Remember Bastogne: Let us never forget and keep this remembrance vibrant regarding the war going on today in Ukraine. Think about this when you are enjoying Christmas this year with your loved ones. Never take anything for granted 🍀 During the Battle of the Bulge, American soldiers fought valiantly to hold the strategic town of Bastogne, Belgium, against the German army’s surprise offensive. The siege lasted from December 20 to 27, 1944, and was a turning point in the war. Here are some accounts from American soldiers who were there: Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe “I don’t know what to tell them” was McAuliffe’s initial response to the German ultimatum to surrender Bastogne. He then famously replied, “NUTS!” to the demand, refusing to yield to the enemy. As the commander of the 101st Airborne Division, McAuliffe led his troops in a fierce defense of the town. Sergeant John Opanowski “I remember the cold, the snow, and the constant artillery fire,” Opanowski recalled. As a member of the 10th Armored Division, he was part of the relief force that broke through to Bastogne on December 26. “We were all just trying to survive and get the job done.” Private First Class Robert E. Lee Lee, a medic with the 101st Airborne, described the dire conditions during the siege: “We were running low on food, ammo, and medical supplies. The wounded were stacked up everywhere, and we did our best to care for them.” He remembered the arrival of General Patton’s Third Army on December 26, saying, “It was like a miracle – suddenly, we had reinforcements and supplies pouring in.” Captain James H. Davis As a company commander with the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion, Davis led his African American troops in a heroic defense of Bastogne. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, they held their ground against repeated German attacks. Davis recalled, “We knew we were fighting for our lives, and for the freedom of our country.” These American soldiers, along with many others, played a crucial role in repelling the German offensive and securing the vital crossroads of Bastogne. Their bravery, sacrifice, and determination will always be remembered as a testament to the Allied victory in World War II. #Quantum #Ai #Security #defense #defence #EU #US

Portfolio Update Announcement from www.blackhillsquantum.com ! Our latest new addition: Affordable cryptographic discovery & encryption Inventory scanning tools that includes PCI DSS 4! Prepare for Tomorrow’s Threats Today with a Complete Cryptographic Inventory As quantum computing advances, outdated cryptographic algorithms like RSA face growing risks from nation-state attacks, putting your data at immediate risk. Conducting a cryptographic inventory is the first critical step to identify vulnerabilities, assess encryption usage, and prepare for a secure transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Check our affordable Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Audit Solution that makes it possible to discover and inventory what cryptography you have, where it is and how much risk it poses to the organization. Track all cryptographic assets: Creating a comprehensive catalog of where cryptography is applied Ensure compliance: Many regulatory frameworks require organizations to implement strong encryption Streamline post-quantum migration: The CBOM will serves as a valuable resource for identifying and upgrading vulnerable systems. Expired or misconfigured SSL certificates can allow attackers to intercept sensitive communications Blackhills Quantum USA (BQCU) delivers an integrated, affordable Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) audit tool. Quantitative Quantum Risk is Essential to Building Your Quantum Resilience Roadmap. Blackhills Quantum USA (BQCU) path to quantum resilience starts with a comprehensive cryptographic inventory—an essential step that can be completed in weeks. Yet, for large organizations, reaching a fully quantum-ready state may take years due to the extensive embedded legacy cryptography across systems and networks. Our structured roadmap includes: Continuous CBOM Maintaining an up-to-date Cryptography Bill of Materials to monitor all cryptographic assets and prevent exposures. Mapping cryptographic systems across the five pillars—External Network, Internal Network, IT Assets, Databases, and Code. Zero trust is a strategy. Quantum won’t break it. Zero trust will provide the framework to protect against Quantum attacks if they happen.

“The urgency of securing sensitive digital data has never been greater,” Ben Gianni, GDIT’s senior vice president and chief technology officer, said in a statement. “The threat of adversaries using quantum computing to decrypt sensitive data, even years after it has been recorded, means we must start the migration to post-quantum cryptography today.” 

Such a computer that is ready within a few (not 10 or 20) years may be sufficient to break state-of-the-art Elliptic Curves (ECC) and RSA (including RSA 2048). This opens up Pandora's box for: * Intellectual property theft in the trillions of dollars per year * Rolling hacks that persist until the targeted company value is zero Unlike traditional hacks, this new type of hack enabled by quantum computers used for decryption can be used to ensure an organization or company never recovers. They can record, decrypt, and dump decrypted data sensitive data on the Internet (say, Wallstreet Bets) every other week until there is no more company left. This is a big departure from past hacks, where there is often an opportunity to recover. With this type of capability, however, the malicious actor possesses the means to ensure the company never recovers through a rolling hack. We can imagine a state-affiliated hacking group targeting an electronics consumer goods manufacturer or a banking system to remove them from the competitive landscape to make room for their own country's quantum-secure alternatives.
