Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC
Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 4 days agoRecall sits in a secure vault behind BitLocker encryption secured with Windows Hello.
BitLocker+Windows Hello gets broken through, the world has a much larger problem than some screenshots, because that’s the foundation of, like, 80% of enterprise security.
If you’re afraid that an attacker sits on your PC and just waits for you to unlock the vault, then you already have the PC breached to the point where they don’t have to do that, they already have access to everything else.
If you’re afraid of the feature in anyway, don’t use it.

You trust microsoft implicitly no matter what they do, I get it.

I don’t. I read tech specs and security analyses. You just stick your head in the sand whenever someone says “Microsoft”, though. It’s silly.

I don’t trust them and they have given me sufficient reason over the course of decades not to.

So you still think it’s 1990. Got it. Well, times have changed. We have better oversight. The EU has GDPR, user data is better protected. If they tried to pull off a “heist” and suddenly start grabbing these screenshots from users, the fine from EU would be historical.
