  "content": "📰 **In this week's issue:**\n\n🗞️ **BREAKING**\n\nNostr's Post-Quantum Leap: Why Your Private Keys Aren't Safe From Tomorrow's Threats\n\nHere's the sobering reality: \"A Nostr public key is published to every relay it touches, and Shor's algorithm recovers a private key from a public key\". Shor's algorithm, running on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, could break the elliptic curve cryptography that secures every Nostr event. The consequences are devastating: encrypted messages become readable retroactively, and events can be forged.\n\nhttps://image.nostr.build/109d709ac1a424bb7a07e3f55d0578e05bcd82f547fe7d59bf1622a01007521f.png\n\n✍️ Author: NM team\n\n🔗 https://nostrmag.com/article/w33nostr01\n\n📈 id#674873739",
