This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...

That includes the famous RSA (integer factorization) and DH (discrete logarithm) algorithms but also widely deployed algorithms ECDSA, EdDSA and ECDH. While no cryptographically relevant quantum ...

Long-Term Threat: Shor’s Algorithm and Cracking Crypto The real danger lies in large-scale, error-corrected quantum computers capable of running Shor’s algorithm.

But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of cracking the discrete logarithm problem, the core math behind Bitcoin's private keys.
