Microsoft Gave FBI Keys to Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

... does not possess the forensic tools to break into devices encrypted with Microsoft BitLocker

Nice intel to have. Now, all that is needed for reasonable security is to avoid storing the key in the cloud. Duhhh.

Basic rule: Not your hardware (computer/drive), not your data.

Never store anything on someone else's hardware that you need to maintain full control over.

But, but, but encryption? It helps but encryption does not guarantee full access when you don't control the hardware.

You all did know that the idea of a Microsoft account was a security & privacy compromise from day zero of its conception, right?
