If you're in CA, well, the CCPA is a whole entire thing. If they don't retain the data then compliance is much much easier.

It's definitely a bypass, but it required the machine to have a user account with automatic recovery options enabled. Without a competent sysadmin and a TPM, all you should really count on bitlocker for is having a thief format the machine instead of snooping. I've heard rumored (but have seen no evidence) that Bitlocker can prevent certain kinds of ransomware from being able to encrypt your drives. Any idea if that's true, or is it just pure rumor?

Any idea if that's true, or is it just pure rumor? almost certainly not, ransomware activity would not be distinguishable from any other activity under that account at best a good policy could protect your backups from also being encrypted, which smart ransomware will do

the minimally idiotic solution here is to do normal cctv. no internet connection, you just have a box somewhere in locked room in building basement that has storage capacity for N days. that’s it, if some suddenly spray paints goatse on landlord’s door the cops just take the HDD as it is at that moment.

as someone adjacent to that sort of camera network poo poo, holy christ never put an internet-enabled camera in your home. at best use actual cctv and put the recorder somewhere not obvious there have been enough stories of "dvr manufacturer shitto includes a backdoor root account with a password you can find on the internet" already

To paraphrase Kirk McKusick, who's been working on the Fast File System/Unix File System in BSD since the early 80s and FreeBSD now: "Once you throw people's data away, they don't trust you with it anymore". Especially not when there's no official spec from Microsoft, and the unofficial attempt at making recovery tools has all but stalled.

I've never heard bitlocker by itself can block ransomware. If it does anything, it probably just adds data to microsoft defender for it's own heuristics. Windows does have the option to enable a whitelist for programs that can access your known folders (search for ransomware protection in start). If you've ever tried to edit your hosts file you've dealt with this before. Most ransomware targeting end users is pretty stupid. If someone has enabled any kind of protection, they probably have backups and won't pay out. Having the software include any kind of exploit or bypass increases the likelihood of detection. Imagine a python script which phones home for an encryption key, then recursively walks the known folders encrypting the first kb of data for every file, and finally drops a .html file on the desktop with instructions about how to pay the ransom and decrypt. All the effort goes into getting the program running as the local user with minimum interaction. Ransomware that targets institutions with deep pockets is a whole different thing.

Also - What I know about bitlocker comes from designing and implementing an appliance (read windows 10 LTSB laptop) for reading data from a medical device and sending it over the internet or dial up modem. I don't have any magical insider knowledge. I do understand why the DoD trusts windows and bitlocker. It's good enough from a technical perspective that you would be better off just paying (or I guess blackmailing) someone who could decrypt/unlock the device.

I have a camera I keep in the room with my birds so I can check on them when I'm out. I also use alexa in there because someone gave it to me and it's easier than keeping a dumb tablet or whatever for bird music. So anyone listening in or watching will just get endless screams followed by repeated pleading to alexa to play the drat rainforest sounds
