>Microsoft Recall, the AI app that takes screenshots of what you do on your PC so you can search for it later, has a filter that's supposed to prevent it from screenshotting sensitive info like credit card numbers. But a The Register test shows that it still fails in many cases, creating a potential treasure trove for thieves.
Recall was introduced in 2024 as an exclusive app on Copilot+ PCs, which are laptops that come with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to help with AI-related tasks. Initially, researchers found serious security issues with it, and Redmond pulled it in the spring before re-introducing an ostensibly more secure version in fall 2024. These days, a screen encouraging you to enable it is part of the Windows setup experience on many new PCs.
