| > The fact that a different user can get to it so easily is bad though. This is what I was referring to. The data this collects is of high sensitivity and value. It will, without question, be targeted aggressively. It needs to be handled accordingly. While I think that this service is dangerous and misguided and shouldn't be used by most people, I would hope that Microsoft would at least be a whole lot more careful about protecting those who do. About being encrypted, here are quotes from Microsoft docs (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/privacy-and-cont...): > Recall processes your content locally on the Copilot+ PC and securely stores it on your device While it doesn't use the word "encrypted" here, "stores securely" certainly implies that. > Snapshots are encrypted by Device Encryption or BitLocker, which are enabled by default on Windows 11. Here is where they say encrypted. They also say it's just from BitLocker, which means it's not really encrypted in the sense that security-minded people would assume (encrypted separately from the whole-disk encryption). I also think most laypeople won't really understand what this means. |
