"Rapidly Defeating Bitlocker: A 43-Second Method"

A security researcher demonstrated how Bitlocker keys can be stolen in just 43 seconds using inexpensive hardware, highlighting a vulnerability in the widely used Windows encryption system. By exploiting the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and the LPC bus, the attacker was able to intercept the encryption key from an older Lenovo Thinkpad, showcasing the potential risk of key theft. While modern computers with TPM inside the CPU may require more sophisticated hardware to carry out such an attack, the demonstration underscores the importance of securing encryption keys to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
