I assume Kandula was a microsoft user and it's widely suspected there's a backdoor for law enforcement.

On built in disk encryption? I'd be surprised if security researchers hadn't found that target. Got a source? Who credible suspects this?

NSA and FBI both approached previous bitlocker devs to insert backdoors in the early days. It's no secret Microsoft cooperates with federal government branches to ensure the government keeps using their products. Further because bitlocker is closed source, there hasn't been any outside research done on the code.

There's more resources on google and I remember attending a talk at either blackhat or defcon on why you shouldn't be using bitlocker.
