@dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org > Apparently, Microsoft exfiltrates a recovery key for your Bitlocker encryption and stores it in their cloud. Well, not "apparently"… It's a known fact, and actually has been for a long time, that windows uploads "private" key for disk encryption de M$ servers. Users have access to their not so-private keys by connecting to their M$ accounts on a web interface… M$ got Kerckhoffs principle backwards… Unfortunately, Key escrow is a real thing…
