So how did Microsoft have the keys in the first place? The article says they are automatically uploaded to the cloud. What does that mean? They’re uploaded to the user’s on drive or something else? Because whatever that user account is shouldn’t be accessible by Microsoft, even if they run the service. I’m not saying aim surprised they do have it, but would be nice to be a little clearer about what features of Bitlocker to avoid. Is it the Microsoft account associated with the windows key? Probably.
Did you read the news about how nowadays is almost impossible to use Windows 11 without a Microsoft account?
When/if any user uses the computer with a Microsoft account, then the bitlocker decryption key is silently and automatically uploaded to Microsoft servers as a “safe backup” 😉
