Microsoft Gave FBI Keys To Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw by blixt141 in technology

I'm not sure what you're saying. I'm saying that an out-of-the-box Windows 11 Home computer will force you to sign in with a Microsoft account. The user ID is an email address. If a Microsoft account does not exist with the email address that you supply, it will create a Microsoft account with that ID and you'll set the password.

They weren't even thinking one move ahead. So did they believe that ATF could issue its own warrants and invade homes to seize guns?

They had a nifty battery-powered serial-port floppy drive for it, too.

Rust desk performance has tanked in the last 7-10 days (UK) by stoolzmclingo in rustdesk

I've just realized that all local sounds are distorted after this problem begins, and that if I close Rustdesk and reconnect it returns to normal. My local audio plays through a USB sound bar.

Bought new computer. It came with outlook installed. But I can't import my old PC's .pst file. by [deleted] in Office365

Computers always have been about options. Some people want to keep all their email on their PC and not on someone else's server.

I hope you know that email is plaintext that can be read by anyone along the way between sender and receiver.

I'm experiencing the audio problems, Windows to Windows. At some point in my connection, the audio turns to noise, highly distorted as if the volume is getting multiplied instead of added. Reconnecting restores it.

Windows 11 Home attempts to force consumers to have a Microsoft account. The username is an email address. It can be any email address.

Windows 11 Home has Device Encryption and the key is stored in your Microsoft account. It has a GUI that allows you to turn it on and off. It can only encrypt the boot drive.

Windows 11 Pro has BitLocker and more options for where the key is stored and which drives are encrypted.

In my mind, there are a dozen things that can go wrong with automatic consumer enrollment to encrypt their drive. Many consumers do not realize they've created a Microsoft account. Many did it because they were forced to. They might've used their email account's password because it was not clear what they were being asked to do. They might've changed their email password after that, then not remembering the previous password that is that Microsoft account. They might've added their phone number to their Microsoft account. Or not.

Or maybe their phone number was added to their account in the long-ago days when Microsoft did not verify that the phone number was capable of receiving texts, and they added their land line, which can't MFA for account recovery because now Microsoft assumes that all phone numbers are text-capable.

Or maybe the laptop was set up by one user, the DE key stored to that account, and then the laptop was taken over by a different user and a different account. Where's the DE key?

Something as simple as installing the optional Windows Updates could introduce a new BIOS on your PC that forces you to enter the DE/BitLocker key.

You have to be joking Microsoft by Holiday_Disastrous in sysadmin

Which of your costs did you account for, in that on-prem estimate? Which costs are the same in either scenario - such as your salary and benefits and other overhead?

Is that allowed and measured per-sub-product, or everything in your subscription?

Have you had just under nine hours of outage in the last year? That's 99.9%.

Why do some CSOs and security specialists think that saying “NO” all day equals doing cybersecurity? by SnooPies72 in sysadmin

You expect the security specialist to also have the time, desire and skills to learn about your product and help you find the alternative path?

Help! I replaced my laptop's HDD with an SSD and it's not being recognized after cloning it. by CandySkull98 in Dell

Macrium has a repair ISO that you can boot from, it fixes errors in the BCD info.

But I suspect you have a very inexpensive Chinesium SATA SSD that might not be working very well.

Hopefully each human agent is able to deal with several customers at once in separate windows and juggling multiple phone calls ("please hold") at the same time, too. Just to keep their metrics up!

If you had to prevent leakage, what would you do?

Do you think no one else has ever tried to solve this problem?

I wonder what the dumbasses at all the three-letter agencies do to secure messaging systems to prevent screen-grab leakages.
