Threat Score
**BitLocker key extraction via memory dump:** A researcher demonstrated a proof-of-concept attack that boots a target system from a prepared USB running Memory-Dump-UEFI after an abrupt restart to preserve RAM contents, dumps memory to locate BitLocker FVEK keys (notably via the dFVE pool tag), and uses those keys with tools like Dislocker to decrypt BitLocker volumes; the report describes steps, tools, risk context, and mitigations (TPM, tamper protection, rapid shutdown).
