    If it’s standard home users with their bitlocker key automatically backed up to onedrive via their microsoft account, big whoop. Should be expected.

    If it’s people who have no microsoft account and the key was backed up elsewhere, then it gets juicy.

    Almost guaranteed you’re better off using full disk encryption through something like veracrypt.

    So, do the Linux users get to say we told you so?

    I’ll admit, a lot of my personal opsec leaves a lot to be desired and I have a few accounts I should really get rid of. But, like, I don’t like Windows anyway. Or actually need it. Using Linux is a good opsec choice that I was going to make regardless of healthy paranoia and I feel really fucking good about it when I see stories like this.
