Practical attack breaks RLCE 128-bit PQC parameters
A GIJS-style key recovery fully breaks round-one RLCE faster than Classic McEliece, on laptop hardware.

Weight-64 record set for HQC-style quasi-cyclic decoding
Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen solved a public challenge instance in roughly one hour on 24 GH200 GPUs, with fresh HQC security estimates expected from the same work.
By nonceHAWK exits and McEliece parameters buckle under fresh attacks
An AI-assisted lattice reduction forces HAWK out of the NIST signature round while quasipolynomial results leave Classic McEliece's proposed sizes without defenders.
By tarpitClassic McEliece team: new attack still slower than known methods
Preliminary review of eprint 2026/1630 finds the claimed quasipolynomial approach above designed cost for every parameter set.
