Journalists should always use “Tails”, VPN an something like Proton Mail.
Neither of those help with data at rest. The data wasn’t intercepted, the data was taken. If that data isn’t fully encrypted, at rest, there’s zero use to using tails. And sure, proton mail would handle encryption of stored data, most people don’t work out of a cloud storage drive.

Bitlocker…really?
What is a bitlocker? All that my homies know is Veracrypt.
(Maybe don’t even use windows if you are a journalist)
dm-cryptgang 😎It’s the encryption built into windows and it’s stupid easy to bypass
How would you bypass pinless bitlocker?
I don’t think I’ve had any customers using it pinless so I’ll just tell you how I’ve bypassed it in the past. Tldr is I use pc unlocker. Boot the computer into recovery and you can tell the computer to boot to a USB. I use PC Unlocker but it costs money, you can use pretty much anything bootable that let’s you poke around in the windows drive and change the sam file so you have admin access and reboot. I’ve done this within the last year on a windows 11 machine and it worked and I’ve done it several times in the past on 10. Why bitlocker unlocks the hard drive without the user telling it to I’ll never understand.
This is why modern devices use a TPM. You can’t modify the file as it’s stored in hardware. I think w11 requires this hardware now.
Even with a TPM, uou CAN boot it and load it in Linux with the recovery key. That’s a bypass, but then you need the recovery key.
