Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies. #privacy #security

This feature is a wet dream for three letter agencies or bad actors. It can’t get better than this. What next turns off TLS? I don’t know a single security researcher who will recommend this feature.

@[email protected] there is a whole political movement to indeed disallow e2e encryption. It's insane. But true.

You can simply be security aware and see the problems and risks. Use of researcher suggests a rare highly informed person.

@[email protected] How could anyone recommend this OS to orgs that work with sensitive data?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

@[email protected] More than a wet dream for any spy agency. We will call it SpyOS instead of windows. Confirm my choice to switch to Linux even more.

@[email protected] At least it’s offline (for now)

It’s not like this feature is on an OS that’s full of holes or anything :troll:

@[email protected] @[email protected] I don't even believe this data will say locally on the machine in corporate businesses from day 1.
