On May 20th, Microsoft introduced Recall<\/strong>, an exclusive feature of Copilot+<\/strong> for PC. This promising tool gives the computer a “photographic memory,” allowing it to revisit any previously accessed application or file<\/strong>. However, despite Microsoft’s efforts to explain its functionality and privacy measures, some prominent voices in the industry are not convinced of its security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Kevin Beaumont<\/strong>, a cybersecurity expert, has published an article on Medium<\/a><\/strong> where he analyzes Recall in-depth and states that this feature makes stealing everything you have seen or written on your computer alarmingly easy<\/strong>. Although Beaumont finds the idea behind Recall interesting, he warns that the feature lacks “incredibly careful communication, cybersecurity, engineering, and implementation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system works by taking screenshots of everything that happens on the computer every few seconds, processing them with OCR (optical character recognition), and storing them in a plain text (unformatted) database<\/strong> in the user’s folder. This means that, although the data is encrypted on the device, it is not immune to attacks if hackers obtain the user’s credentials<\/strong>. Beaumont emphasizes that “they have tried a lot of things, but none of them work correctly in the real world due to loopholes that a plane can pass through.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Beaumont created a website able to process the Recall database and instantly search for anything in it, <\/strong>although he has decided to postpone the project until Microsoft improves the security of the feature. Beaumont points out that “the cyber community, in general, will have a lot of fun with this when it is widely available.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
