See the excerpts below!! Kevin Beaumont is trying to downplay data at rest on computers getting stolen from just your home!! It can get stolen from your car, the subway, an airport etc. etc!! Microsoft’s new motto is to do security first???? Then why not use SEDs when Bitlocker is insecure!! Microsoft is not ‘doing security’ first!!

Microsoft’s FAQ page doesn’t address the potential for malware to try and steal the Recall database, though. “Recall snapshots are kept on Copilot Plus PCs themselves, on the local hard disk, and are protected using data encryption on your device and (if you have Windows 11 Pro or an enterprise Windows 11 SKU) BitLocker,” says Microsoft.

As Beaumont points out, disk encryption is only good for certain scenarios. “When you’re logged into a PC and run software, things are decrypted for you,” explains Beaumont. “Encryption at rest only helps if somebody comes to your house and physically steals your laptop — that isn’t what criminal hackers do.”
