Signal will block Microsoft Recall from snooping on your texts

Encrypted messaging platform Signal is enhancing its Windows application with a feature called Screen Security, which prevents screenshots of messages while the app is in use. The application is flagged as protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), ensuring that DRM content cannot be recorded in screenshots on Windows devices. Screen Security is activated by default but can be disabled by users if needed. Signal hopes that AI developers will consider the implications of their innovations more thoughtfully. The Recall feature in Windows 11, which allows users to record everything displayed on their screens, has faced privacy and security concerns, and skepticism remains about its readiness for widespread adoption.

Windows 11 will add a new way to talk to Microsoft Copilot — no Copilot key required

Microsoft is testing a new press to talk functionality for its Copilot feature on PCs, allowing users to engage with the AI tool using a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Spacebar for two seconds) to start a voice conversation and Esc to end it. The update is being rolled out via the Microsoft Store, requiring the app version to be at least 1.25024.100.0. Additionally, a revamped Copilot app for Windows 11 is being previewed, featuring a native app UI framework for better integration, faster launch times, and the option to start automatically upon boot. Some users have expressed surprise at the chosen keyboard shortcut, suggesting a preference for a dedicated Copilot key.

You can now try Microsoft’s Recall AI feature on a Copilot Plus PC

Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel are receiving a preview of the Recall AI feature for Copilot Plus PCs, which includes functionalities like Recall and Click to Do. Recall captures snapshots of user activities, allowing for easy retrieval through natural language queries and a scrollable timeline. It is an optional feature requiring user consent, initially available only on Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs, with plans to support Intel and AMD systems later. Users can control their snapshots, including deleting them and excluding specific apps from recording, while sensitive information is automatically protected. Microsoft assures that no snapshots are sent to the cloud or used for AI training, emphasizing user privacy and security. The Click to Do feature allows users to perform actions with text and images from captured snapshots and will eventually enable broader interactions with screen content. Recall's introduction was delayed due to security concerns, but Microsoft has enhanced its security framework, allowing users to opt-in or uninstall the feature.

It looks like you won’t be able to uninstall Recall, the controversial AI-assisted Windows 11 screen-capping feature, and I can’t say I’m too surprised

Microsoft has confirmed that its upcoming Windows Recall feature will not be uninstallable, despite earlier indications that users might have the option to disable it. The Recall feature allows users to retrieve past activities on their PCs by taking periodic screenshots of the user's desktop. It is exclusively available on Copilot+ PCs equipped with advanced neural processing units (NPUs). The feature will not be enabled by default, requiring users to opt in to use it. Security concerns have arisen after researchers reportedly bypassed Windows security protocols to access stored images, although Microsoft assures that these images will only be accessible locally to the Recall user. There are also indications of an "intelligent media search" feature in development, which could raise further security concerns. Users have experienced challenges in uninstalling other Microsoft features like Cortana, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive, leading to uncertainty about the Recall feature's uninstallability.

A former security architect demonstrates 15 different ways to break Copilot: “Microsoft is trying, but if we are honest here, we don’t know how to build secure AI applications”

Michael Bargury, a former security architect at Microsoft, identified vulnerabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot that could be exploited by hackers to access sensitive user credentials during his presentation at the Black Hat USA 2024 conference.

Microsoft announced a strategic pause on new features for Copilot to focus on security improvements, which CEO Satya Nadella emphasized as the company's top priority. The company has faced scrutiny over security lapses and is integrating security deliverables into the compensation packages of its top executives to enhance accountability in protecting user data.
