Do You Think Microsoft's BitLocker Is Secure? Guess Again

Trust no one. Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw

Microsoft "encourages" people to store the BitLocker keys in their servers. It is for "convenience." If you forget your BitLocker password they can rescue you. Of course convenience rarely goes with security.

It’s possible for users to store those keys on a device they own, but Microsoft also recommends BitLocker users store their keys on its servers for convenience. While that means someone can access their data if they forget their password, or if repeated failed attempts to login lock the device, it also makes them vulnerable to law enforcement subpoenas and warrants.

And really, don't trust Microslop.

Is there a way to use BitLocker securely? Probably.

But there is more.

Microsoft's Bitlocker is infamous for suddenly enabling itself without you explicitly going through the setup process so that neither you nor anybody else has any idea what the encryption key is, and you data is simply gone. [Ref. Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony]

So if you don't set it up, it gets insulted and activates itself, putting all of your data into the bit bucket. And if you do set it up, Microslop will make sure your secure data is not secure. Sounds like a great bit of software design.
