Everything you do with a #windows 11 computer is being recorded by microsoft
now a non #microsoft operative has found a way to extract this info
the result ? : info on everything you have been doing with a laptop is possible to be captured by a hacker
https://www.wired.com/story/total-recall-windows-recall-ai/
Dubbed TotalRecall the tool can pull all the information that Recall saves into its main database on a Windows laptop.
>"The database was easy prey," Hagenah says.
Since Microsoft revealed Recall in mid-May, security researchers have repeatedly compared it to spyware or stalkerware that can track everything you do on your device.
They were correct.
>"It's a Trojan 2.0 really, built in," Hagenah says, adding that he built TotalRecall only in order to show what is possible to capture peoples information. He is not going to do it himself but hopes Microsoft takes action after seeing this happen. So that people are safe.
Included in what the database captures are screenshots of whatever is on your desktop -- a potential gold mine for criminal hackers or domestic abusers who may physically access their victim's device. Images include captures of messages sent on encrypted messaging apps Signal and WhatsApp, and remain in the captures regardless of whether disappearing messages are turned on in the apps. There are records of websites visited and every bit of text displayed on the PC.
Once TotalRecall has been deployed, it will generate a summary about the data; it is also possible to search for specific terms in the database. Hagenah says an attacker could get a huge amount of information about their target, including insights into their emails, personal conversations, and any sensitive information that's captured by Recall.
Hagenah's work builds on findings from cybersecurity researcher Kevin Beaumont, who has detailed how much information Recall captures and how easy it can be to extract it.

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI
Windows Recall takes a screenshot every five seconds. Cybersecurity researchers say the system is simple to abuse—and one ethical hacker has already built a tool to show how easy it really is.

⚡️Microsoft Recall, Stealing Everything You've Ever Typed
@takebackourtech
Microsoft recently introduced an upcoming feature of Windows 11 that will be rolled out soon with Copilot+ called Recall. If you’re a current user of Windows 11, this isn’t active for you yet, but it will be in the near future.
As a brief summary, Recall will continuously take screenshots of your PC every 5 seconds, creating a searchable database of your activity. It will also store everything you have ever typed in plain text, yes, including sensitive passwords that are copy and pasted.
We recommend you do everything you can to avoid Recall when it is implemented, and to disable it in Windows 11 in the near future.
In case you’re not convinced yet, you may want to switch to an open source OS, like Linux, in order to avoid 0 day exploits and privacy breaches that will likely occur on Windows due to Recall.
Recall is a PR Nightmare
Unfortunately, Recall is one of the many problematic new implementations of AI in mainstream operating systems.
Similar functionality will be coming to Apple, considering they have opted to work with Google’s Gemini AI and will soon implement invasive, AI based scanning of the private data located in the unencrypted messages on your smartphone and PC in the near future.
In case you are not convinced yet, here are some more reasons to avoid Recall:
Cybersec: Microsoft claims that Copilot+ runtime processes data locally, but because its database is stored in plain text, it will make any Windows based PC vulnerable to remote access by hackers.
One practical use case of this would be an InfoStealer trojan, which steals usernames and passwords and can easily be modified to support Recall.
User Reaction: Recall has rightly been met with overwhelmingly negative reactions from Windows users, who naturally fear the coming privacy breaches and severe potential for misuse by bad actors. For any Windows users still out there: this was inevitable.
Implementation: Recall is, quite frankly, a PR nightmare unfolding in real time for Microsoft. To make matters worse, the feature will come enabled by default, despite Microsoft calling it an “optional feature."
Legal Jargon Manipulation: Microsoft's vague, misleading descriptions of Recall are decidedly sketchy. They continue to use terms like "snapshots" instead of "screenshots," in order to cover their tracks and downplay Recall’s intrusiveness.
Update as of 6/13/24: Because of recent public backlash, Microsoft is now making Recall an optional feature that you have to willingly opt-in to, instead of being enabled by default. They are also adding encryption via Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security and are encrypting the search engine database.
Still, we wanted to capture the previous stages of development before Microsoft could sweep the roll-out of this extremely problematic feature under the rug.
Whether or not this convinces you to feel safe and secure while handing over your private data to Recall and Windows, is another story.
