    They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.

    Two of the three are being used in the wild, with Copy Fail being retroactively found at least 9 days before the disclosure.

    What are the indications that the BitLocker vulnerability is already being utilised?

    This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.

    Alleged by a guy who was fired from Microsoft. I’d take that with a pinch of salt.

    Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.

    I agree! But other than one angry dude, not much else is pointing towards this being intentional - so far! Let’s see how things go.

    That being said, open source repos are being attacked constantly with attempts at intentional malicious code injection - I’m sure you’ve heard of XZ Utils? How many others went through and are being exploited without anyone noticing?

      Dude, enjoy your Windows then. This is not Twitter (or X or whatever) where you can go do your master’s bidding of creating noise to try and control the normies. Here most of us know how to do research and have the ability to differentiate bots (human or otherwise) from actual thinking individuals with a modicum of common sense and more than 2 functioning brain cells.

      Look at your down-votes and take a hint. That bullshit has no effect here.

        Dude, enjoy your Windows then.

        Well, I’m a Linux user so I can’t.

        This is not Twitter (or X or whatever) where you can go do your master’s bidding of creating noise to try and control the normies

        Of course you can! Just like on every other social media! What are you even talking about? :D

        Here most of us know how to do research and have the ability to differentiate bots (human or otherwise) from actual thinking individuals with a modicum of common sense and more than 2 functioning brain cells.

        You’d think that, but if you actually know a bit about tech, this community is hilariously ignorant most of the time - on all the matters you mentioned. :D

        Look at your down-votes and take a hint. That bullshit has no effect here.

        The hint is that this community is extremely aggressive towards language that goes against the hive-mind. The bullshit has no effect because people can’t differentiate what’s bullshit and what isn’t, so they just automatically assume any statement that isn’t violently anti-MS is bullshit spewed by bots at their master’s bidding.

        Take your comment as example…
