A security researcher says Microsoft secretly built a backdoor into BitLocker, releases an exploit to prove it

cross-posted from: poptalk.scrubbles.tech/post/41…

A researcher known as "Nightmare-Eclipse" recently released YellowKey, a security vulnerability that allegedly enables a full bypass of BitLocker's full-volume encryption. The researcher described YellowKey as one of the most "insane" flaws they have ever encountered and has also accused Microsoft of potentially embedding a legitimate backdoor in BitLocker's data protection system.

To no-one's surprise

A second backdoor. Windows also uploads your BitLocker keys to Microsoft's servers by default, just in case somebody needs to get in later.

The legally have to because of the US Cloud Act.

Every single US company has a backdoor because of this.
