What a slap to the faces of everyone who had been locked out of their data because they never knew about this crap and thus never saved their keys
People called me paranoid when I said this would happen someday…
if theres money to be made it will happen one day
Wasn’t this by design? Otherwise why keeping the decryption keys on servers located in the united states’?
Why is anyone surprised by this? And what kind of imbecile commits crimes and uses windows? 🤣
Not just that but also uploads a copy of the key to their Microsoft Account…
Many modern Windows computers rely on full-disk encryption, called BitLocker, which is enabled by default. This type of technology should prevent anyone except the device owner from accessing the data if the computer is locked and powered off. But, by default, BitLocker recovery keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud, allowing the tech giant — and by extension law enforcement — to access them and use them to decrypt drives encrypted with BitLocker, as with the case reported by Forbes.
Didn’t Osama bin Laden use Windows? 😂
Now I’m curious about that, haha!
After Bin Laden was killed, the CIA released the contents of his hard drive. Index can be found here. Search for “Windows” and you’ll find multiple system files, drivers, etc.
Microslop is openly anti consumer. Why would you hand them your encryption keys?
Amazing how every time you think they’ve finally stopped digging… they whip out the steam shovel and go “Hey y’all, watch this!”
Is anyone shocked by this? With everything that DHS, FBI, ICE, military, elected representatives, etc. are all doing without any concern or care for laws, civil rights, human rights, the Constitution, this should not be a shock to anyone. Corporations are bending over backwards to appease the talking orange and make more money. They do not care as long as profits are up and the shareholders are happy. A companies primary legal responsibility is to the shareholders, not the customers.
Regular old ZIP with AES-256 should do the trick for anything truly important you want to keep locked down.
You could always do sly stuff like Hidden volumes with Veracrypt as well. Leave the crumb trail for the low key shit or old nudes of gfs you have permission to keep.
Or don’t use an operating system that uploads your encryption keys to their corporate servers for “backup”.
Ya’ll know Veracrypt isn’t Bitlocker right?
I understand what veracrypt is, i don’t understand willingly using an operating system that constantly violates your privacy at every given opportunity.
Even if you don’t care that MS and the federal government can decrypt your data, when Bitlocker is enabled your MS account becomes cryptographically linked to your identity and machine, making it a powerful tool for surveillance, identification, and DRM.

This is why I don’t use bit locker, nothing microslop controls secure in any way.
I was summoned to help eject a CD today.
I’m out.
Isn’t this against the fourth admement or something?
