Microsoft's Windows Recall Feature Faces Severe Security Criticisms

Experts highlight significant vulnerabilities in Microsoft's new AI tool, raising privacy and security concerns.

  • Windows Recall takes constant screenshots to assist with AI-driven searches but stores data in an unencrypted database.
  • Security researchers warn that the feature is highly susceptible to InfoStealer trojans and other cyber threats.
  • Microsoft claims local data processing and storage, yet experts demonstrate how easily the data can be extracted.
  • The tool captures all on-screen activity, including sensitive information, without redaction.
  • Researchers urge Microsoft to overhaul Recall before its full release on Copilot+ PCs.
