     @hfaust Who would have thought that "securing" your bitlocker encryption by connecting it to your Microsoft account for possible recovery would make this possible.

     @catmanmancat @hfaust It's not backdoored, they just default to making a copy of your keys to The Cloud which they happen to have access to.
     
     They probably have a million customer service events where this is helpful behavior every year, but it's not especially secure if you're actually doing sensitive things.

     @hfaust USE BITLOCKER THEY SAID. IT'S SAFE THEY SAID. ENCRYPTION WORKS TO KEEP THE FEDS OUT THEY SAID.

     Then they gave backdoor keys to the glowniggers.

     But really, whym'st is there backdoors built-in to Bitlocker?

     It really is all fake and gay.

     @mirq @hfaust This is different. You connect your microsoft account and bitlocker together, so your recovery keys are attached to your microsoft account at all times for when you need to recover.
     
     Instead of printing your recovery key on a piece of paper and putting it somewhere, you now log into your microsoft account from a different device and get the recovery key for emergency decryption from there. It's a completely stupid thing to do for anyone that knows what encryption is supposed to do. Which also is the crowd that uses VeraCrypt instead of Bitlocker.
