Very much so. But the specificity and severity of what he knows is not clear just from this. Not necessarily to the point of "bright flashing warning lights" as the top-level comment put it. Anyway, I certainly am glad that people are (as far as I can tell?) more or less on top of the post-quantum transition.
Yes, it can easily just mean that he has some kind of inside information about progress that he doesn't want to divulge, but this is still far from "crypto is broken, guize"
Still, if that's true, it's an example of the very thing Scott's talking about: there are advances in the field that aren't being made public.
