> by holding SHIFT + F10 while a Windows 10 computer is installing a new OS build, an attacker can open a command-line interface with SYSTEM privileges. This CLI debugging interface also grants the attacker full access to the computer's hard drive data, despite the presence of BitLocker.

Who fucking cares.
>The reason is that during the Windows 10 update procedure, the OS disables BitLocker
>post yfw Microsoft disables BitLocker every 6 months to "update" Windows 10 ("update" meaning completely reinstall the operating system)
how many versions of Windows 10 do we have now? Like 4?
also post yfw Windows 10 is the "last operating system" according to Microsoft. So in 10 years we will have like 30 versions of Windows 10. What a fucking tech support nightmare
So windows update writes the decryption key somewhere "temporarily" that persists through reboots, does anyone know where?
>inb4 it is copied to both the install volume and a sekret EUFI address space for new dank hardware
It can't bypass the encryption, so barely useful if you want to reach /home. If the boot partition encrypted even more useless.

Full access to encrypted shit
Doesn't matter. If you leave someone alone with your computer, they can go whatever they want with it.
What a fucking retard

With enough time and power, every system can be cracked. Also: Would someone destroying your computer be better than accessing your supasekrit files?
>despite the presence of BitLocker.
Bitlocker have never been a serious encryption alternative anyway
None of the options are favourable, retard.
>Would someone shooting you in the head be better than shoving a knife to your heart?
>With enough time and power,
Yeah, apparently it takes the manual power enough to press SHIFT F10 to crack windows system
You just gave yourself the answer then: If you let any attacker get access to your hardware, it's compromised anyway. This Bitlocker problem doesn't matter. They could just install a hardware keylogger instead to spy on you. Or a rootkit.
>Bitlocker
No one uses this
>Would someone destroying your computer be better than accessing your supasekrit files?
Well, yeah, but mainly because I'd get way more insurance money.
Except this time it doesn't even require you to let people install keylogger in the system.
The attacker bypasses fucking encryption with a shortcut
Also it requires you to be installing windows updates at the same time while you leave someone alone with your computer. Which kinda minimizes the risk. How long do you install windows updates for? Takes me 5 minutes, tops
Why the fuck is it even possible for the operating system to disable BitLocker without being given the decryption key?
>How long do you install windows updates for?
A few hours
upgrade your toaster
Not an argument since it can run both Linux and BSD just fine.
Windows update is a fucking piece of shit
You don't understand encryption, do you?
The point of encrypted data is that it's secure from people with access.
works on my machine
>You don't understand encryption, do you?
>The point of encrypted data is that it's secure from people with access.
*when the machine is turned off
kinda sounds like a you problem. Took me 15-20 min tops to install when I fast forwarded about ~600 builds to the latest fast ring build a couple weeks ago.
Doesn't work on my machine and millions of others'
No, while the encrypted data is encrypted and the keys are not contained in RAM.
This is true when the computer is off but it can also be true when the computer is on.

I have never had a malware or virus infection in my 15 years of using computers. Go spread your FUD somewhere else.
People who fall for such hacks are idiots and probably deserve it. I want these noobs to fuck off so our ecosystem should only have power users who won't spread infections and malware to others.

I still find it hard to believe that ANYONE is dumb enough to trust Bitlocker in the first place.
>Also: Would someone destroying your computer be better than accessing your supasekrit files?
Yes.
It's unlikely that you're going to get your PC back after it gets stolen. If some cocksucker steals it I would rather see it destroyed than have them glean some potentially useful information off it that could be used to steal more shit from me.
is this bot? Who takes time to shitpost this badly on mongolian pedophile board?

Why is this level of shitposting allowed? Kill yourself
People trust Apple encryption, Facebook encryption, WhatsApp encryption.
Whats so difficult about these same people trusting Windows Bitlocker encryption?
Most people don't even know what encryption is.
