The FBI served Microsoft a warrant requesting encryption recovery keys to decrypt the hard drives of people involved in an alleged fraud case in Guam.

      I wouldn’t be naive enough to believe there’s not a backdoor somewhere in LUKS.

        “Naive” doesn’t sit right with me. Anyone can scrutinize LUKS, or BitLocker for that matter (via cryptsetup). Backdoors aren’t the issue here, even for MS Bitlocker. The issue, as stated in the article, is:

        by default, BitLocker recovery keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud

        No need for a backdoor if you know you can get keys to the front door.
