What happened
Bruce Schneier’s March 2026 blog roundup highlights several security-relevant developments: a claimed theoretical improvement in quantum factoring (potentially accelerating future attacks on RSA and other public-key cryptosystems); a new Wi‑Fi attack called “AirSnitch” that exploits cross-layer identity desynchronization to enable bidirectional MitM against home, office, and enterprise networks; Apple’s announcement that iPhone and iPad meet NATO information-assurance requirements for handling classified (NATO Restricted) data out of the box; concerns about F‑35 software dependency and reports
