This is not a new issue. Security has been dealing with data stored encrypted with obsolete algorithms since forever. Anybody who uses encryption at rest is already used to dealing with this, because computing power is rising continuously and flaws keep being found in old algorithms.

MODERATORS
everything in the article is could this, could that, could could could. So this looks like good old FUD.
Quantum computers will make current encryption methods a joke.
Nah plenty of encryption services switched to quantum resistant encryption half a decade ago.
I am not doubting you but could you share some sources?
