Mythos attack on 3rd-round PQC algorithm candidate puts it out of commission

HAWK is a cryptographic algorithm removed from post-quantum standardization after a targeted attack. Researchers use a novel cryptanalytic technique called Mythos to expose a fatal vulnerability in the third-round post-quantum cryptography candidate. This development impacts engineers tracking post-quantum security standards and cryptography migration timelines for enterprise systems.
