So...maybe you heard about that quantum computer cracking a 15-bit elliptic curve key?

Well, now somebody is claiming it was done with classical brute force methods.

...and that the prize-winner stole the code they claimed to have used.

...and the person claiming this also claims they actually cracked a 16-bit elliptic curve key!

It's a quantum circus!
