or is it just very poorly written by a reporter who doesn't know what
he/she is writing about.

so, if a single photon is spuriously absorbed in the fiber-optics
somewhere, this system indicates that it's been compromised and the
entire message is lost or corrupted?  how can this possibly be robust
enough for practical use?

It's accurate, but rather pointless since any fraud will undoubtedly be
perpetrated elsewhere in the chain of events.
Google "quantum cryptography"

Right.  The physics is accurate but it seems silly for this
application.  Probably an excuse to use public funds for research.
