BitLocker Bypass Found, Researcher Warns of More Unreleased Vulnerabilities
Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial]

I’ve never used BitLocker, but it seems unlikely that the exploit would succeed when a TPM and PIN are enabled.
If it’s not bullshit I’d be very excited to see how it works, I hope they reveal it soon.
If it’s real my best guess is that it depends on rebooting a system that was already unlocked with a PIN, leaving some crucial information still in memory or the TPM still in an open state.
