or they give the keys or whatever data willingly, and then say they are hacked as an excuse.

Wouldn't the hacker then need to track down your physical computer...steal it....use the bitlocker key....look to see if you actually have any data worth taking etc....?

Actually they'd probably set up a Bitlocker key shop on the dark web
