Windows 11 Allegedly Has A Tracker Without an Off Switch

Another dinobaby post. No AI unless it is an image. This dinobaby is not Grandma Moses, just Grandpa Arnold.
I love it when Microsoft provides outputs about user privacy. Frankly I ignore the baloney generated by a weird corporate blend of MBAs, lawyers, and PR professionals. Does it flow? Does it sound good? Does it advance our position with investors? Once a yes answer is agreed upon, big outfits make important announcements about privacy, trust, and security. But then along comes a story like “Microsoft Admits Windows 11 Has A GDID Tracker With No Off Switch, First Documented Publicly In An FBI Hacker Complaint.”
The main idea is that Windows captures a Social Security number for each computer with its operating system. This is called in Windows’ jargon the Global Device Identifier or GDID. Allegedly the clever Social Security number makes it possible to track an individual across VPNs, proxy servers, and sketchy service provides in foreign countries. The revelation about this magical “security and privacy feature” comes from a bad actor who allegedly was a a member of the Scatter Spider hacking group.
The Windows Latest professionals allegedly read a 39 page briefing about the Scatter Spider discovery. The write up says:
“A Global Device ID (GDID) is a permanent, unique digital fingerprint that Microsoft automatically assigns to your computer when you install Windows or sign into a Microsoft account.Microsoft uses it to manage software licensing and Windows Store apps, but because it links all your online activities on that computer back to a single identity, law enforcement can use it to track a device’s true owner across the Internet survives Windows updates. It does not survive a clean reinstall, and Microsoft’s footnote in the complaint admits “one Microsoft user could have multiple GDIDs” over the life of a single account.Microsoft said what the GDID does without saying where it is inside Windows. For that, independent researchers had to reverse engineer it, because Microsoft has published exactly one sentence about GDID in the Azure Monitor reference for Delivery Optimization reporting, where a column called GlobalDeviceId is described only as ‘Microsoft global device identifier. This is an identifier used by Microsoft internally.’”
The bad actor was apprehended because he used the same Windows device across all his hacking activities. What is interesting is that the Microsoft statements about privacy and security bump up against this type of invasive track. I suppose this is a standard benefit of using Microsoft software, systems, and services. The write up describes some steps a person can take to control some of the data flowing to the privacy and security oriented operations that make Microsoft so Microsoftie. But most Windows users won’t know how to set up a local account, turn off diagnostic data transmission, block advertising IDs, disable the Cloud search feature, and other useful steps.
Have you taken these steps? The fact that the bad actor was put in a jar is a positive. Plus, the data revealed in the 39 page briefing seems to verify what many Microsoft-cautious professionals have believed about the firm’s willingness to talk about privacy and its actions that make privacy less important.
