The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as RSA.

To be clear, they factored a 22-bit RSA integer. this is impressive and noteworthy, but it doesn’t mean that RSA is fully broken yet as most RSA key-pairs are 2048 or 4096 bits.
6Should make em bigger just to be safe.
