Death of encryption - the real agenda behind Copilot & Recall?
Death of encryption - the real agenda behind Copilot & Recall?
I know people have mixed opinions on Braxman but I don't see any huge leaps in logic here tbh... Thoughts?

3 letter agencies, governments in general and data hungry companies will continue searching for a way to bypass encryption. And just a reminder: direct access to the system (remote or physical) bypasses all kinds of encryption unless it's protected separately. Backdoors and kernel level anti-cheats ftw

Physical access trumps all.
-
Not really? If disks are encrypted good luck getting anything out of it. A remote access to a running machine? It's all laid there.

Eh, kind of. Remote Desktop with an admin account would be more useful than physical access to a locked computer. Because if Bitlocker is enabled, then all that matters is that you can sign into the computer. Use strong passwords, don’t open RDP to the WAN, lock your workstations when walking away, etc…
Even cloning the drive to crack later (historically, this was a popular choice if you had physical access) is pretty useless if you don’t have a user’s password.

Death of encryption?
They are rolling out forced turned-on-by-default BitLocker hard drive encryption for everyone using Windows 11. Including all those people who dont understand how it works and won't save their backup keys.
Microsoft is dumb but pretending they are trying to kill encryption is also dumb.

I suppose I meant to say "end to end encryption". It's no secret that it's been under attack from the top down for a long time but from my understanding the legislation keeps getting shot down. This seems like a perfect workaround unless I'm missing something.
