Trail of Bits thread on Google Quantum AI's March publication of a new Shor's algorithm version aimed at secp256k1, the curve protecting Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets. Google used zero-knowledge proofs to keep the attack details secret, and the post says the secrecy lasted 63 days. The fetched text is cut off after the qubit estimate of roughly 1,200, so later details are missing.
TL;DR Trail of Bits describes how Google's ZK-proof attempt to withhold a quantum attack on secp256k1 held for only 63 days.
