Microsoft says they are making a bunch of changes to Recall to mitigate the many, many security and privacy problems that researchers have found over the last week: www.theverge.com/2024/6/7/241...
it's such a horrendous failure by everyone at Microsoft that it even got announced with the data being in a plain text database that shows regardless of what management say the company still hasn't changed .
What MSFT demonstrated is that privacy and security is still not part of their decision-making process.
Fixing obvious issues after the announcement is not going to change that impression nor will it fix this broken culture at MSFT.
Still after the fact & in response to almost universal public criticism. Microsoft's approach to security is still a joke. See quoted thread. #Microsoft#AI #WeCanRememberItForYouWholesale
Are Microsoft changes going to be enough? We will check when they roll them out. But the important lesson here is that public security research made a difference here.
I'm happy people are pushing MS... but starting a cloud/AI product from the "wildly insecure" footing and trying to lock things down after is a recipe for disaster.
