    I must say that Mental Outlaw is known for using the wrong terminology, for example calling closed-source software “spyware”, which bothers everyone who works in the cybersecurity industry because this is blatantly wrong. I assume it’s the same story with this supposed “backdoor”.

      Mental outlaw is a bit of nutter IMO. I couldn’t live with that level of paranoia, so I stopped watching him.

      It’s a zero day that breaks bitlocker using some files on a USB.

      Also spyware and bloatware are fairly often used for closed-source software because almost always closed-source code is either spyware or bloatware or both.

          I’m not even sure what FsTx is but my guess is that you need a patched one, although it’d be an interesting to try if you got two PCs

      I’m sure you’re right, but it helps for a normie to privacy/security like my self, and viewer engagement.

      You’re right in that this isn’t a backdoor. Its an exploit hes calling a backdoor.
