Microsoft Gave FBI Keys to Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

Article note: Mmmyep. Bitlocker with a Microsoft account is barely more than theater, it manages to keep most of the fragility and overhead of a sophisticated encryption system, but - having done the recovery flow for someone's machine that b0rked - even without the power of state threats, it's not that hard to shake the retained keys out of Microsoft. Fun that non-nerds are starting to learn about bullshit vendor-bypassable security that the cypherpunks have been screaming about for 35 years due to (this is a euphemism I find myself using uncomfortably often of late) "the geopolitical situation."
