A researcher known as "Nightmare-Eclipse" recently released YellowKey, a security vulnerability that allegedly enables a full bypass of BitLocker's full-volume encryption. The researcher described YellowKey as one of the most "insane" flaws they have ever encountered and has also accused Microsoft of potentially embedding a legitimate backdoor in BitLocker's data protection system.

To no-one's surprise

I remember when TPM modules and BitLocker became standard, starting with laptops. I always suspected Microslop of adding a yet-to-be-discovered back door in their closed source shitshow.

Must be what a pepper prepper feels like when the first nuke drops.
