If you are using an #Apple #iOS device, I at least believe you should update ASAP to 17.4.

With iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4 Apple is introducing a "state-of-the-art" post-quantum cryptographic protocol for iMessage called PQ3.

PQ3 will supposedly protect against "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks where a malicious actor collects encrypted data with the hope of decrypting it with a quantum computer at some point in the future.

Quantum computers are expected to eventually be able to make large-scale calculations that would allow them to decrypt content secured with traditional encryption methods, but that apparently won't be possible with PQ3.

It's a security update, but not sure if it's getting the new iMessage. Hopefully!
