WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is Not Secure As it may contain unfixed security issues
|
A FOSS project shutters itself and, rather than linking to a fork or posting tarballs of a few versions' worth of source, recommends commercial alternatives. Suspicious
They Recommend to migrate to Bitlocker....an encryption platform by Microsoft
that the feds asked for a backdoor. Suspicous.
Some users believe the program was compromised due to a national security letter, or it may be a break-in. Many things don't add up, including the fact that Truecrypt re-issued all of its keys only 4 hours before releasing the new version, 7.2. On top of this - they say they have stopped development because WinXP support has ended... which doesn't add up at all. Even those who audited truecrypt found out suddenly today about the changes and shutdown of the trucrypt project.
At this point it is not recommended to use the new version 7.2
