Microsoft has a back door. Easy access to hard drive data _ network security

This latest speculation has new evidence that Microsoft has built a support for a device called "USB Thumb Driver" to facilitate police scans of computer hard disks. For online computers, the police can traverse the hard drive and the decrypted password without shutting down the computer while conducting a surprise search, avoiding the loss of critical evidence.

"We have invested a lot of resources in this area, but not to make money," he said. Microsoft legal advisor Brad Smith said to the Seattle Times, "We're doing this to enhance cyber security." ”

This thumb drive has 150 commands and can record the activity of the hard drive, including browsing records and decrypted passwords. Microsoft has started providing this equipment free since last year, and it is said that more than 2000 agents are in use in 15 countries.

But Microsoft apparently ignores any technology that would have been disastrous if it had been exploited by people who did not use their hearts.
