One thing future malware might do is to encrypt the drive using the BitLocker API/command line, since BitLocker already knows how to do this reliable and with minimal system impact.
Or change the key if it's already encrypted.
- dr_zoidberg 11y agoDon't know if that's possible, I haven't worked in the details of BitLocker, but... It derives the key from a secret that is stored in hardware (a trusted key platform module I think it's called) or somehow related to the user (MS account? password?), so I don't think it'd be posible to encrpyt something through BitLocker that can't be unlocked by the legitimate user. Then again, I'm a bit sloppy on BitLocker mechanisms.
