Chris and Hector take on the uneasy space where privacy, technology, and law enforcement overlap. They break down how encrypted data was accessed through BitLocker recovery keys, how doorbell cameras are quietly becoming part of policing and immigration enforcement, and how an alleged insider siphoned millions in seized cryptocurrency from government controlled wallets.

Microsoft ha entrega claves de BitLocker al FBI por una orden judicial. A diferencia de Apple o Google, las guarda sin cifrar del lado servidor. El cifrado conveniente resulta ser cifrado con puerta trasera legal de serie.Loop Infinito, podcast de Xataka, de lunes a viernes a las 7.00 h (hora española peninsular). Presentado por Javier Lacort. Editado por Alberto de la Torre.Contacto:
AI adoption within organizations is increasingly polarized, with Gallup data cited showing that while 77% of technology professionals use AI at work, overall workplace adoption rose only marginally from 45% to 46% in late 2025. This stagnation is attributed not to employee reluctance, but to aggressive uptake by leadership without corresponding redesign of roles and workflows at lower organizational levels. In the UK, research presented notes an 8% net job loss tied to AI alongside a 11.5% productivity increase, with younger workers expressing heightened concern over future employment security.Supporting analysis emphasizes that AI utilized only in decision-making circles can compress organizations, trading resilience for short-term efficiency. Dave Sobel cautions that celebrating productivity gains without acknowledging operational fragility introduces organizational brittleness, as headcount reductions outpace tangible capability improvements across all layers. The discussion underscores the risk in pitching AI as a leadership tool without regard for its broader impact.Additional topics include the risks of encryption practices—specifically Microsoft's BitLocker—and the limits of user control over recovery keys when stored in the cloud. Dave Sobel highlights governance failures when MSPs assume encryption equates to privacy without explicit decisions regarding key custody and authority, noting that silent trade-offs can expose organizations to privacy vulnerabilities. Furthermore, coverage of CISA's absence from RSA conference outlines how diminished federal engagement increases liability and ambiguity for MSPs tasked with interpreting security policy. New video authentication features from Ring are examined as evidence of a broader shift where provenance and chain of custody outweigh convenience, directly affecting the evidentiary value of managed data.The overarching implication for MSPs and IT providers is clear: risk, authority, and liability are being systematically reallocated within the supply chain and between vendors, government, and service providers. Operational preparedness now depends on explicit documentation, governance choices, and advance recognition of liability transfer. Failing to adapt—by leaving deployment decisions, key management, and evidentiary workflows unexamined—may result in organizational fragility, legal exposure, and loss of client trust. Four things to know today 00:00 Stalled AI Adoption and UK Job Losses Show Productivity Gains Are Not Broadly Shared04:06 BitLocker Encryption Allows Microsoft Access to Recovery Keys Stored in the Cloud06:21 CISA Breaks From Past Practice, Declines RSA Conference Appearance08:36 Ring Uses Cryptographic Seals to Verify Video Authenticity as Evidence Trust Becomes a Governance Issue This is the Business of Tech.

Justin Tolman from Exterro joins the Forensic Focus Podcast to talk about the future of FTK and the role FTK Imager still plays in everyday casework. He explains why the original free version remains available, and what prompted the introduction of Imager Pro with added capabilities like BitLocker decryption and iOS collections. Justin also reflects on his time in law enforcement and training, and why the investigative side of the work still holds a strong pull. Looking ahead, Justin shares where FTK development is headed — from large-scale processing and streamlined review workflows to Whisper-based audio transcription and careful, targeted use of AI for tasks like summarising long documents and cross-media searching. He also previews Exterro's upcoming Inform event — a 15-hour global broadcast featuring talks from practitioners around the world — and invites the community to get involved. #DigitalForensics #DFIR #FTK #Exterro #ForensicImaging #MobileForensics #IncidentResponse 00:00 Welcome to the Forensic Focus Podcast 00:31 Introducing Justin Tolman from Exterro 01:46 Justin's Journey into Forensics 03:10 Transition to Training and Exterro 06:31 FTK Imager Pro: Features and Benefits 14:36 Training and Community Resources 16:29 Updates on FTK Suite and Scalability 19:10 On-Prem vs. Cloud Solutions 26:57 AI in Forensics: Benefits and Challenges 37:45 Addressing AI Bias in Forensics 38:53 Case Study: AI Misinterpretation in Seattle Shooting 40:14 The Importance of Validation in AI Forensics 41:18 Challenges in Identifying Legal vs. Illegal Content 43:08 The Future of AI in Forensics 44:18 Collaboration and Integration in Forensic Tools 46:07 The Role of APIs and Open Standards 47:18 Challenges with Proprietary Forensic Formats 54:36 The Need for High Compression Formats 56:32 Forensic Focus Podcast and Community Engagement 01:00:56 Upcoming Forensic Events and Presentations 01:06:23 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

BitLocker could be running on your PC without your knowledge. Without the recovery key, you risk losing everything. I'll show you three ways to check, find, and save your key.
BitUnlocker – Multiple 0-days to Bypass BitLocker and Extract All Protected Data
In this July 2025 Patch [FIX] Tuesday episode, Automox security experts Tom, Seth, and Cody unpack four high-impact threats — from Microsoft updates, to Linux vulns, and .zip exploit PoCs.Topics include a physical attack method bypassing BitLocker encryption (CVE-2025-48001), the looming expiration of secure boot certificates, a Linux privilege escalation flaw in chroot and sudo (CVE-2025-32463), and a proof-of-concept .zip exploit that hides malicious content during preview but runs it on unzip.Expect sharp technical insights, practical mitigation tips, and as always, a few laughs.

In this episode of 'Cybersecurity Today,' host Jim Love discusses several urgent cybersecurity topics. Microsoft has released an emergency patch after a recent Windows update caused BitLocker recovery mode on certain systems, locking users out without warning. The issue stems from the May security update affecting systems using Intel, vPro chips, and TXT. Tech enthusiasts may manually download the patch through the Microsoft Update catalog, while Microsoft urges users to secure their BitLocker recovery keys. The episode also highlights day one of Pwn2Own Berlin 2025, where hackers successfully breached Windows 11, Red Hat Linux, and Oracle Virtual Box, earning a combined $260,000 in prize money. Additionally, US experts discovered hidden communication hardware in Chinese-made solar equipment, raising concerns about remote access risks to the power grid. The FBI warns of a new wave of AI-generated phishing attacks that bypass traditional security measures. Finally, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has quietly backed down from regulating data brokers, sparking controversy among privacy advocates. Jim Love offers insights and reminds listeners of the importance of cybersecurity. 00:00 Introduction and Headlines 00:27 Microsoft's Urgent Patch for BitLocker Issue 02:26 Pwn2Own Berlin 2025: Major Security Breaches 04:11 Hidden Devices in Chinese Solar Equipment 06:05 FBI Warns of New Linkless Phishing Attacks 07:58 CFPB Withdraws Rule on Data Brokers 09:33 Conclusion and Contact Information
