I must say that Mental Outlaw is known for using the wrong terminology, for example calling closed-source software "spyware", which bothers everyone who works in the cybersecurity industry because this is blatantly wrong. I assume it's the same story with this supposed "backdoor".

I'm sure you're right, but it helps for a normie to privacy/security like my self, and viewer engagement.

You're right in that this isn't a backdoor. Its an exploit hes calling a backdoor.

It's a zero day that breaks bitlocker using some files on a USB.

Also spyware and bloatware are fairly often used for closed-source software because almost always closed-source code is either spyware or bloatware or both.

So... can the FsTx file from my computer disable bitlocker on yours? Because that would be interesting.

I'm not even sure what FsTx is but my guess is that you need a patched one, although it'd be an interesting to try if you got two PCs

Mental outlaw is a bit of nutter IMO. I couldn't live with that level of paranoia, so I stopped watching him.

Yeah it so sad to start watching an Linux content creator. Yet again having to drop them when they are yet another alt-right wing nutjob.

You're into Linux because either you want to escape capitalism/closed source monitoring every aspect of your life, or because muh freedom.

Well left wingers and the far right do have one thing in common, they're usually both under lots of surveillance.

Correct, there is extremely scant evidence for it being a backdoor in the video
