Pray they don't backdoor it again.
Of course they will. That's why the actual "fix" will be in the next update. They first have to build a new backdoor before the old one is really closed.
Corpo software will ALWAYS have backdoors.
Can't have those disgusting, smelly peasants locking their betters out of their home computer now, can we?
Bet the fix will push down an obfuscated binary that includes the new backdoor
That's not fair this could just be vibe coding there's no way to know you know ms dogfoods copilot requires everyone code
The exploit has existed in Windows systems since before vibe coding was a thing. So it’s 100% an intentional backdoor in BitLocker that someone found.
