Microsoft is rolling out its controversial Recall feature to Windows users with Copilot+ PCs. However, there are still many privacy and security concerns that remain, even after its reworking.

Privacy-first messenger blocks #MicrosoftRecall

#Recall, #Microsoft’s “magical” AI tool that watches everything you do, is back. But the team behind private messaging app #Signal aren’t happy about it—they’ve added a feature to stop Recall taking screenshots of your chats.

As you might recall, Recall was initially dubbed a “#privacy disaster,” before being “delayed indefinitely.” But Microsoft tweaked and relaunched it. And in #SBBlogwatch, people aren’t entirely happy about that.

"'Take a screenshot every few seconds' legitimately sounds like a suggestion from a low-parameter LLM that was given a prompt like 'How do I add an arbitrary AI feature to my operating system as quickly as possible in order to make investors happy?'" https://signal.org/blog/signal-doesnt-recall/

Microsoft Recall rolling out in the latest updates. Make sure to tick No, Don't Save....if you don't want Windows snapping screenshots of your display. #Recall #MicrosoftRecall #WindowsRecall #technews

So, considering the below article, how big of a security risk do folks suspect a system that takes screenshots of your computer screen every three seconds, archives them, and then feeds them all into an AI might be?

Privacy helper for #Windows

The free tool "O&O ShutUp10++" helps to disable many concerning Windows features with one click.

It now supports disabling "Copilot" and the disturbing "Recall" feature as well.

"Microsoft’s Recall feature recently made its way back to Windows Insiders after having been pulled from test builds back in June, due to security and privacy concerns. The new version of Recall encrypts the screens it captures and, by default, it has a “Filter sensitive information,” setting enabled, which is supposed to prevent it from recording any app or website that is showing credit card numbers, social security numbers, or other important financial / personal info. In my tests, however, this filter only worked in some situations (on two e-commerce sites), leaving a gaping hole in the protection it promises.

When I entered a credit card number and a random username / password into a Windows Notepad window, Recall captured it, despite the fact that I had text such as “Capital One Visa” right next to the numbers. Similarly, when I filled out a loan application PDF in Microsoft Edge, entering a social security number, name and DOB, Recall captured that. Note that all info in these screenshots is made up, but I also tested with an actual credit card number of mine and the results were the same."

Is the general consensus that #Microsoft #Recall is just an excuse to train AI on all the stuff we otherwise wouldn't give them? Does this seem obvious to other people?

Despite promising to filter personal data out, #Microsoft #Recall still captures it. On the bright side, Recall refused to capture the credit card fields when I went to the payment pages of two online stores – Pimoroni and Adafruit. In both cases, it only captured either the screens before and after the credit card entry form or a blank form.
