Let me paint you a picture. You lose your work laptop. Maybe it's lifted off a café table, maybe it walks out of the back of a taxi. And your first thought — once the panic settles — is, "well, at least the drive is encrypted. Whoever has it can't actually read anything." Right? That's the whole deal. That's the promise.
Today's episode is about the week that promise got broken on Windows 11. Not with a supercomputer. Not with some nation-state crypto-cracking lab. With a USB stick and a folder. The exploit is called YellowKey, and it does something that, frankly, should not be possible, it walks right past BitLocker without touching the encryption at all.
