Yeah that's treating D-Wave "breaking" RSA-2048 as the fraud that it is. They didn't factor anything, they computed a square root.
I'm still dubious about the accelerated timeline given what quite a bit of what is presented as progress in the field is fraud or borderline fraud when inspected closely. (e.g. some of the recent majorana claims by Microsoft are at best overhyped, at worst fraud)
