For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@GossiTheDog I can't see this going live without a literal and figurative revolt, within Microsoft and outside of it.
@NosirrahSec @GossiTheDog So every unlocked workstation, every compromised device. "Recall show me the last adult material I viewed." I can see printed porn coming back into fashion. Or Linux

@TechnicalAdept @GossiTheDog I don't give a shit who knows about my sexual fantasies or my porn habits. (I am not saying that isn't a threat, but it isn't to me lol)

I just fear for those that ARE afraid of this threat, because to them it IS a threat.

@NosirrahSec @GossiTheDog remember those fake extortion scams that pretend to have caught you looking at porn - Ever been tempted to reply to them - You haven't got my collection of Dwarf Latex Nuns have you? My original got corrupted.

@TechnicalAdept @NosirrahSec @GossiTheDog

Microsoft is doing in one OS update what once took visiting hundreds of porn sites over the course of a week once did to inject malware into your PC.

(Read a similar comment earlier today. The thought is not original.)
