BeyondMachines :verified:<p>Take care who can physically access your Windows computer, even if fully encrypted</p><p>Researchers have shown a non-invasive method to exploit a flaw in Microsoft's BitLocker encryption system called "bitpixie" that allows attackers with physical access to extract disk encryption keys from memory without disassembling the device. Implement mitigating measures and take care who can physically access your computer.</p><p>**If you are using a Windows computer with BitLocker, enable pre-boot authentication by configuring BitLocker to require a PIN or password at startup rather than relying on the default TPM-only setting. Additionally, install Microsoft's KB5025885 update to prevent bootloader downgrade attacks, and consider disabling PXE boot in your BIOS/UEFI settings if you don't need this feature.
