Nice, now they just need to fake a crash at convenient times, wh8ch they’ll know thanks to Recall, and they can steal literally any data you have in RAM. Passwords, the unencrypted content of any encrypted file you may have opem, you name it.

  ??? There is absolutely no need to fake a crash to do that. The kernel has access to all ram at all times.

  That’s A) not what this memory scan is, and B) what do you think MEMORY.DMP already is?
