Google used a ZK proof to disclose a quantum breakthrough that cuts the cost of breaking cryptocurrency by 20x without handing attackers the circuit.
The Rust code behind the proof had memory safety bugs. We used this new attack surface to forge a proof that beats Google’s on every metric.
Google patched it within days. Their quantum claims are unaffected. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2026/04/17/we-beat-googles-zero-knowledge-proof-of-quantum-cryptanalysis/
