Kevin Bowmont writes for a web site called double pulsar. I am not sure if thiis is his web site or if this is another site he just writes for.
In either case, he says that once this is recall service is rolled out, you’ll know everything that one has done on a PC.
This includes watching porn, youtube videos, document writing, or anything else one does with a PC.
Microsoft says that this database is only available locally, but it seems that this is not the case and Kevin isn’t releasing any other details until it becomes available in a windows 11 version near you.
This is something we definitely need to be passing along.
Oh yes, BTW, Microsoft says that this data can’t be exfiltrated. Kevin says yes, although he hopes Microsoft will change this since he’s submitted feedback. And he ran it prior to release on something he has control of. He indicates that the data was exfiltrated faster than defender had time to tell him there was a problem and mitigations were to take place. Have fun with that one!
This is your article title. Read at your own risk. This is not going to look good for Microsoft. Not at all.
Hello Shaun,
Great question. Apparently its for Microsoft to see what you’re up to. Its only for 11 though, and it seems like its bad security wise. Make sure you read the FAQ though.
This isn’t being ran on 11 from my knowledge, but if they can exfiltrate the data, an actor can and that’s bad. I blogged about recall earlier, you might want to search that out. Doesn’t interest me.
HHmph.
And what is this supposed to be for?
Its a security risk at worst and not needed at best.
I spend time clearing my junk and traces every time I log off.
I don’t have the best security installed but who needs security if you clear your temp data every session at least for what I do.
I fail to see what use recall would be for unless you kill a file or want to note down what you loaded.
