#encryption — Public Fediverse posts

Bitlocker is a disk #encryption feature shipped with #Windows. It is designed to protect sensitive data by encrypting entire drives, ensuring that information remains secure, especially if a device is lost or stolen. Many, many, many enterprises use it to protect portable media.

A #vulnerability has just been published, that backdoors #Bitlocker completely on Win11. (Doesn't work on 10, previous versions untested.)

Researchers posit that it is a backdoor because it is undocumented, and only enabled on certain configurations.

What does this mean for you as an enduser? If you use bitlocker as your encryption, and someone has access to your system, they can jailbreak it. Is it likely? No.

What does it mean if you're corporate IT? My hair is on fire, my hair is on fire!

The bigger question is: who put the access there and why.

I'm probably preaching to the choir with many of my followers, but if you're Canadian and concerned about what Bill C-22 will do to #encryption and #privacy (and you have an attention span longer than 30 seconds), check out the video I made on the subject back in 2019.

It's sad that this is still relevant and needed here in 2026, but I guess that's living in the darkest timeline for you.

In 2019, Meta committed to rolling out end-to-end encryption across Facebook Messenger and Instagram. "The future is private".

In 2026, that future has been quietly switched off. Instagram direct messages now use only standard encryption, meaning Meta can read message content, voice notes, and images that were previously visible only to the sender and recipient.

This is not a small adjustment. It is a reversal of a public promise made to billions of users, and it has been made with minimal noise and no meaningful alternative offered inside the platform.

The future of private communication will not be delivered by the companies that promised it in 2019. It will be built by everyone who is still committed to it now.

But yesterday, #Apple finally enabled #encryption for #RCS messages—great news! This opens the door to high-quality, secure local messaging. I really hope RCS will help to make a difference !
