Privacy problems with Windows GDID

[NotATether]

First point: my co_dev and I are interested in understanding whether GDID could potentially track Bitcoin wallet or crypto wallets on connected systems or via a temporary connection to a cold wallet. This is for legitimate purposes, as already described at the start.

Unless Microsoft is sending an index of every single file hash on your system to their servers, I don't think this is possible. For a hardware wallet specifically, probably the device ID of some sort is going to be sent to Microsoft as well, but this is for driver quality purposes, not GDID.

Second point: someone has reported me to the admins, I don’t know why. I find these topics absolutely fascinating and wanted to share them with you to gather the insights you have already provided, for which I thank you all. The fact that I have been reported saddens me.

Maybe it was for a consecutive post? What was the exact message?

Don't worry, your post is interesting.
Although quite off-topic for this board since most replies barely touch "Bitcoin" aspect of the topic, it's about its impact on Bitcoin's privacy nonetheless.

Now, I've checked the forum's "mod.log" and it seem to be the second part of this merged replies.
Obviously, the original post must be deleted or it'll just be duplicated.

Thank you, @nc50lc. I will be more careful. On our board, we aren’t that strict, even though the moderators do a great job in this regard, and I will certainly be more careful from now on.

Yes, it’s true we have gone a bit off topic, but I want to clarify that what concerns me most, beyond personal data and privacy, is precisely the privacy risk associated with Bitcoin. As I wrote at the beginning of the thread, if there were any reports in these logs about btc wallet or other crypto related data, some countries, such as those in Europe that are very eager for money, —could pressure Microsoft to search their servers and obtain data to uncover capital held in crypto.

Thank you guys
