I haven't posted about Paul Verhoeven, or his his directorial trademark of over the top graphic violence punctuated with a liberal use of squibs in a while. So...

Pick your favourite Paul Verhoeven film:

"Ethical hacker releases tool to exploit Microsoft's Recall AI, says it's not 'rocket science'"

"Ethical hacker Alex Hagenah has launched a tool, called #TotalRecall, that shows how anyone with enough know-how and the right tools could steal the recalls saved on a Windows machine and access that data, encryption-free, on a target device."

ZDNET · Ethical hacker releases tool to exploit Microsoft's Recall AI, says it's not 'rocket science'By Don Reisinger

Microsoft Total Recall dürfte mit EU-Recht zur Datenspeicherung im Konflikt stehen, denn wer What's App oder Signal Messaging mit Verschlüsselung und Autodelete für's Messaging mit anderen hat kaum sein Einverständnis zur Datensicherung auf dem Rechner des Kommunikationspartners zugestimmt. Die Funktionalität der Apps mit Autodelete signalisiert recht klar, dass eine Datensicherung unerwünscht ist.

#Security nightmare:

#Microsoft’s new #Windows11 feature, #Recall, makes the #SciFi movie #TotalRecall almost look like a fairy tale by comparison.

Everything you ever saw or wrote on your device, even if deleted, will remain in definitely remain available and searchable for users of the device, including #hackers.
Opting out requires work.

Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.

Excellent analysis:

If you enable Windows Recall on your device, please do not sync any contact info you have for me, or exchange any kind of digital comms with me, using that computer.

Any conversation we have using your Windows machine can and will be captured without my consent.

You cannot consent on my behalf - so if you're going to use Windows Recall, please don't contact me using your Windows device.

Ever.
