I've found a Micro SD card on the pavement and it's encrypted

BananaDunka · 29 May 2019 at 22:14

Who encrypts a Micro SD card? I can't think of a single legit reason to do this as they go in phones and cameras which can't really deal with encrypted cards.

It's encrypted with Windows BitLocker.

What should I do with it, delete the partition and use it as a free 64GB Micro SD card? Do a deep scan on it using Recuva to see if anything dubious can be found outside of the encrypted area?

Questions questions....

I think you should send it to MI6.

My interest is piqued in a way I did not expect.

Show us the treasures within.

Crack it open my man and report to us all immediately.

Well I started the scan out of sheer curiosity and Recuva has found 2300 files so far. I would hazard a guess that the files found are all corrupted, but at least I might be able to see filenames and whatnot?

It has to autorun in order to begin infecting, I don't use autorun, also I'm not a noob

Can we put that on your headstone when you're found locked inside a duffel bag in your bath?

It's entirely sensible in this day & age given rampant mobile phone theft.

It's encrypted with Windows BitLocker.

You can encrypt SD cards in Windows Phone 10. Go to All Settings, Update & Security, Encryption. It locks the SD card to the phone.
