Yeah, my understanding is the NSA stores all encrypted texts they intercept so when they can get a good quantum computer they can break them.
Glad groups like signal have started updating their encryptions to help handle that
Mulvad too are rolling out "quantum-resistant encryption" (read: they add another random key after the first key handshake is established)

Good to know.
