There’s a database somewhere with every bitlocker key to almost every Windows 11 device on earth. I’m sure they let the NSA and the FBI right in. The CIA probably has sleeper agents working devops at Microsoft so they don’t even need to access it procedurally. $10 says Israel can access it too, because why the fuck not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* Is that even necessary?
