@larsrosenquist @jwildeboer yes.
Which means that bitlocker is not a full disk encryption system since... It obviously doesn't allow you to protect your data against eavesdropping
Salut @benjamin
No it's not. On my work laptop*, the C:/ partition only is 'encrypted' by #BitLocker and the D:/ partition isn't since it's used by OneDrive or so I've been told by the IS folks.
*the first #Windows laptop I even touch since 2006. Feel my pain...
Microsoft and BitLocker: If you have access to keys, eventually governments are going to come. And MS provided the keys https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2026/01/22/microsoft-gave-fbi-keys-to-unlock-bitlocker-encrypted-data/
@CCC If you give your secret key to someone, your key has been leaked.
It's obvious and it's not news.
Don’t call it a backdoor when it’s a default option to upload your secret keys.
Windows is still uploading recovery keys to #Microsoft cloud accounts…
So while you are doing your password-manager magic (I hope)… Microsoft just hand the #bitlocker recovery over on a royal plate…
Maybe some extra devices can be seized by the FBI… only investigating Washington Post journalists can become a bit boring…

Do people who use #Windows know what this means? #Bitlocker is the full drive encryption. Outrageous to betray users like this. #fascist #authoritarianism
