Exactly it, and their claim that it is stored with bitlocker level encryption is obviously meaningless if they have the keys.

    Fun fact, windows 11 backs up your bitlocker private key with Microsoft if you sign in with a Microsoft Account.

    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.
