Total Recall Microsoft recently announced a new AI-enabled Windows feature called Recall that tracks quite literally everything you do on your computer by regularly taking screenshots and scanning them for relevant information to be recovered later. If you’re wondering how this isn’t a massive cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen — you’d be right to be concerned. As Wired reports, security researchers have already shown — two weeks ahead of the tool’s official launch — that the screenshots the feature takes are stored in an unencrypted database, a glaring oversight that could easily allow bad actors to access any information that has ever graced the screen of your Windows device. Cybersecurity expert Alex Hagenah created an aptly named tool called TotalRecall, which can exploit this oversight by pulling all the data Recall can extract — a public demonstration to warn others of the feature’s daunting implications. “The database is unencrypted. It’s all plain text,” he told Wired. “It’s a Trojan 2.0 really, built in,” he added, referring to commonly-used spyware. Everything History Microsoft is hoping to turn Recall into a “magical” way of retroactively summoning any potentially lost information, from forgotten browser tabs to misplaced files, using AI chatbot-style natural language prompts. “Search across time to find the content you need,” Microsoft promises in official documentation. “Then, re-engage with it. With Recall, you have an explorable timeline of your PC’s past.” But as Hagenah demonstrates with his nifty tool, the screenshots created by Recall can easily be swiped from an unsuspecting…Windows Feature That Records Everything You Do Can Easily Be Hacked
