"Exploit" is a weird way to spell "backdoor", but ok.
I wonder which agencies and governments have access? I’m guessing bare minimum NSA, CIA, and higher level clearances at the FBI and DHS. Maybe even some of the 5 eyes countries. Definitely Mossad, that’s a given.

Vibe coding is the future guys!!
Vibe coding: any USB flash memory can bypass your disk encryption.
Bitlocker was implemented well before LLMs were even a concept, this isn't a vibe coding thing.
Literally any programming issue is now vibe coding, didn't you hear? People wrote perfect code always before LLMs took over all coding and started writing slop.
This must be true, I never even heard of software vulnerabilities before AI and Windows was beloved by all without any problems whatsoever.
Of course, we used to have it rough; we used to have to call the Internet through a 56k modem, download 3MB .mp3s from WinMX, burn them to CDs and play them on a boombox just to listen to music.
You try to tell the youth of today that and they'll never believe you.
If it has a back door the size of a barn door, it's not encryption, it's a hoax.
