Cybersecurity experts raise the alarm over Windows Recall again: 'The vault door is titanium. The wall next to it is drywall'

Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Windows and Devices Pavan Davuluri speaks about Recall during the Microsoft May 20 Briefing event at Microsoft in Redmond, Washington, on May 20, 2024. Microsoft unveiled a new category of PC on Monday that features generative artificial intelligence tools built directly into Windows, the company's world leading operating system. The tech giant estimates that more than 50 million "AI PCs" will be sold over the next 12 months, given the appetite for devices powered by ChatGPT-style technology.

Remember Windows Recall? The AI feature that essentially screenshots nearly everything you do on your PC in order to present users with a timeline of activity they can rewind back through? It was meant to be available on Copilot+ AI PCs from June 2024 but got, ahem, recalled a number of times amid cybersecurity concerns. The feature has since been redesigned, but security researchers are raising the alarm again.

Windows Insiders have had access to the redesigned Recall since last year, but allegedly the more things change, the more they stay the same. Case in point, after already breaking the original Recall, security researcher Alexander Hagenah has created another tool that can expose the refreshed Recall's various vulnerabilities by extracting and displaying the data it captures (via The Verge).
