Of course they did. They have no interest in protecting your privacy and every interest in making you think they do. I would’ve been way more surprised to learn there wasn’t a backdoor.

I’m left puzzed as to how this works …like… the data on the disk should be encrypted sector by sector…it takes forever to encrypt or decrypt a disk which is consistent with that understanding. When you boot into PE, I don’t understand how that OS can read anything off the disk, yellowkey or not, without knowing the encryption key…so how does it get that key. Is the vulnerability here that the key is stored in the TPM and win PE can be convinced to retrieve it without the proper credentials being provided ? If that’s the case, and the TPM can just provide the key on request…then… where is the security here ?
