That makes me think of when TrueCrypt suddenly stopped being developed: https://www.techmonitor.ai/technology/cybersecurity/is-truecrypt-a-victim-of-hacking-4280447?cf-view
Except Microsoft doesn't have the respectability to discontinue a clearly broken product now that they've baked it into ever installaion of Windows 11 by default
As in you think they were pressured into stopping development so people would switch over to BitLocker, which now appears to have a backdoor put in by Microsoft or at least one of the developers, presumably at the behest of a government?
there's a backdoor built right into bitlocker in the form of 'recovery keys'--and for most users, microsoft knows what they are.
The thought did cross my mind, yeah. I don't think it's quite sufficient evidence to make such a big conclusion, but both of these seem so conspicuous
Yeah its Not Safe As.
