That clarification of yours is massively important. Your initial comment sounds as if there is a PoC from Canada on how to circumvent the PIN for the Bitlocker keys.
Maybe that's why you got downvoted?
I agree the "security researcher" sounds bitter, but also they found a proven critical backdoor, so it'd be negligent to just ignore their comment about circumventing the PIN. And the only way they could put microSLOP at fault for that would be if they could find that microSLOP was backing up encryption keys in the recovery environment / boot files somewhere.
I think my mistake was assuming I was on a security related community, where this would be understood, instead of PC masterrace.
It's a meme joke, referencing this: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/she-goes-to-another-school
Seems unlikely. The WRE is like 32MiB in size, and most of that consists of static binaries. Not much info is saved there, except for some log files. If the bitlocker keys were there, they would have already been found by someone else.
That's what I'm saying. Not impossible though to hide key weakening info somewhere.
