Is there any public word from Microsoft about what is going on here? Why would both Microsoft and Gitlab ban the user? I thought both platforms allowed hosting exploits and security research as long as everything is clearly marked up-front, I'm guessing some rules were broken?

Well if it’s a full disk encryption exploit that still requires hardware access I imagine it would have been made for a 3-letter govt org or something

FDE is meant to protect data at rest.

Hardware access is a given.

The fde encryption exploit is only for volumes that auto decrypt anyway. So it's a know (accepted) that the model doesn't really try to avoid.

You guys need to stop reaching for conspiracy

Which is all of them that don't require a pin (rare).

Some of the exploits are suspected to be intentional govt backdoors. It is easy to see why Gitlab would ban the user, given that they can be secretly subpoenad as any other US or allied entity.
