Researcher Kevin Beaumont revealed that the data is stored in plain text in a local SQLite database, making it vulnerable to hacking. Despite Microsoft's assurances of encryption and local storage, Beaumont demonstrated that the data could be exfiltrated remotely, calling the feature a security disaster. He advises pausing the rollout until the issues are addressed.
