The more prosaic means you're describing, plus zero days and phishing (unless that's included in "targeted attacks"?), can still get them a long way.
- kadoban 7y agoYeah, zero days, phishing and coopting servers to send exploits to specific targets are what I meant by targeted attacks (and some of those overlap). You're probably right on the quantum computers of course, but I like comparing it against what was publicly know about say cryptanalysis vs what the NSA knew in the DES days, and also similar situations in the ww2 days.
