I agree that exploit is a strong term here, but when you think about the next time someone in your life falls for a TeamViewer tech support scam, it makes a difference whether the scammers are getting ahold of the contents of their screen at the moment, or everything they’ve done since having the computer.
It seems obvious that MS should put Recall data behind more of an access control than “any process that can read files”.
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoEverytime I mess up a password, I click the "eye" button to reveal it if I'm alone, so it will likely go into the screenshot. I type totp code that will be valid for 2 minutes, and they are clear. I have emails, account numbers and emails. I have contacts of my network, sites I visits regularly and nick names I use. Sometimes I paste sensitive content in encrypted chats, but hey, now they are in the screenshot. Then there are nude pics of partners, intimate journaling notes, porn activity, how much I have in the bank, contracts with clients under nda, legal and illegal drugs I order, political alliances, and all the stupid stuff I may do... All that conveniently centralized and searchable.
