A quantum state of light was successfully teleported through more than 30 kilometers (around 18 miles) of fiber optic cable amid a torrent of internet traffic – a feat of engineering once considered impossible.
It could actually be a good thing, since it opens up the possibility of unsnoopable channels of communication, using encryption that would be disrupted by any attempt to intercept it.
Not what I understand. The encryption referenced is about having an immutably certain shared data source from entanglement that can be used as encryption/decryption input. Quantum computing does promise to crack current encryption technology in the future.

Also the ability to crack any of our current encryption almost instantly…
Quantum entanglement is different than quantum computing.
Not exactly; entanglement is a critical element of quantum computing for the encryption and decryption referenced.
