Microsoft has released a temporary mitigation for YellowKey, a Windows zero-day that can reportedly bypass BitLocker protections.

A zero-day exploit circulating online allows people with physical access to a Windows 11 system to bypass default BitLocker protections and gain complete access to an encrypted drive within seconds.

A new Windows zero-day reportedly bypasses BitLocker, adding pressure on Microsoft as researchers debate the exploit’s real-world impact.
