#Windows #Recall demands an extraordinary level of #trust that #Microsoft hasn’t earned

This, as many users in #infosec communities on social media immediately pointed out, sounds like a potential #security #nightmare. That’s doubly true because Microsoft says that by default, Recall’s screenshots take no pains to redact sensitive information, from usernames and passwords to health care information to NSFW site visits. By default, on a #PC with 256GB of storage, Recall can store a couple dozen gigabytes of data across three months of PC usage, a huge amount of personal data.

#Microsoft’s new AI-enabled laptops will have a ‘photographic #memory’ of your virtual activity

The new features will include Windows Recall, giving the #AI assistant what Microsoft describes as “photographic memory” of a person’s virtual activity. Microsoft promises to protect users’ #privacy by giving them the option to filter out what they don’t want tracked, and keeping the tracking on the device.


Of course, the company, which has never been known for its extensive security efforts, guarantees security and privacy. It sounds more like a horror story to me if Microsoft now collects even more data.
