That question is pointless if you're using windows
- huhtenberg 3y agoIn practice, it is most certainly not pointless. Given two USB drives, one encrypted with BitLocker and another with TC or VC, chances of master key recovery by Microsoft are definitely not the same.
- maccard 3y ago> In practice, it is most certainly not pointless .... chances of master key recovery by Microsoft are definitely not the same. I don't think those two sentences hold water when put together. In practice, if your risk is master key leakage and theft of the encrypted data by microsoft, you shouldn't be using windows. If you suspect that, MS can have a kernel mode driver masquerading as anything else, and it can just siphon your master key whenever you enter it.
- DarkmSparks 3y agoAnd now that ms auth is apparently mostly compromised, extend microsoft to any threat actor in the wild. I like VC for the portability of the encrypted .tc files. Keep all my backups as tc files, and recovered from more than one failure using them. Once had an issue where dropbox corrupted the duplicates, so dont use dropbox anymore.
- Jerrrry 3y ago>ms auth is apparently mostly compromised just gonna drop that like that aint a $10k+ implication, gonna need a src or ref thanks unless you mean by 3letters, which dont exactly give their backdoors to randoms. randoms aint coming across 3letter's backdoors, not active/modern ones anyway
