You don't need a quantum computer to break it, you just need a mathematical formula which could work for any number, and since private keys are numbers, finding such formula can solve any key by using even a mobile phone.

Humanity developing a quantum computer strong enough to break ECDSA seems far more likely than someone finding an effective alternative to Shor's algorithm for classical computing tho.
