This blogwatch roundup compiles critical commentary about Microsoft’s upcoming Recall feature, reporting researcher findings that preview versions store screenshots and activity logs in an unencrypted local database. Commentators warn this design could enable credential or PHI exposure, domestic abuse/stalkerware use, and other privacy harms, and call for Microsoft to reconsider the release, though no confirmed breach or exploit is described.
