Windows 10: Bitlocker used by hacker to hold us to Ransom - are Microsoft able to assist?

So, a hacker was able to use Microsoft's Bitlocker to hold me to ransom. Despite the lost data including hundreds of precious memories yep, backed up onto another disk but that too was locked using Microsoft's Bitlocker I cannot afford to pay $5000!!! Why is this possible? Why do Microsoft allow this?


Looking at the Bitcoin trail, they are making upwards of US$200K a year on this scam which also means people are paying - but, what other choice do they have???. Why is this allowed to happen? Why is it that with Bitlocker it appears Crime DOES Pay!


This is really a warning to Windows 10 users. Simple. Dont use it as you risk losing literally everything.

Bitlocker menu in Control Panel is gone!!!!!

Hi,

From the above screenshot I see that you are not able to access or see the Bitlocker Drive Encryption in Control Panel, i suggest you to change the view of the Control panel and then check if you are able to access or view it.

Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Type Control Panel in the Search bar and then Enter.
• Select the View by options in the upper right pane.
• In Category select the small icons and then check if you can view the Bitlocker Drive Encryption option.
