How long until Microsoft gets accused of stealing classified info?

Last time they thought about rolling it out, security researchers immediately found ways to do clear text exfiltration of user data.

This should be terrifying for anybody who is at all concerned about opsec for anything at all.

Corporate /LTS editions don't have this crap. MS only rapes the peasantry

For now. Plus, lots of companies still use Windows "Professional" SKUs.

Thankfully my work laptop runs W11 Enterprise, but still...

I’m sure most corporations have agreements that prevent M$ from using this. Or M$ has to host all of its data gathering on azure government.

The entire point of recall is that it's running locally. That's why only a very very very small subset of all Windows 11 PCs support it. Only "copilot+" pc supports it which are PCs with very specific processors with AI processing. Most notably the new Snapdragon arm PCs.

You're incredibly naiive if you think MS isn't harvesting that data.

I think the EDPB would have a field day if that was the case.
