A quantum computer broke Bitcoin's encryption and emptied wallets

Viral headlines claim a lab managed to drain Bitcoin wallets by exploiting a quantum flaw in its cryptography.

Why it's false: Today's quantum computers are nowhere near having the stable qubit capacity needed to break the elliptic curve Bitcoin uses (secp256k1). An exaggerated headline, with no real documented case so far.
