What? You mean the NSA built in a back door somehow, but the company can't publicly reveal that, so they're pulling the plug on the product, like the guy who ran the encrypted email service? Unpossible.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to learn the government is shutting down any sources of encryption that it can't back door.

The fact that it doesn't say anything about what the problem is, and then recommends using BitLocker as the next step is just fucking amazing.

But I was assured that TrueCrypt was the only way to have secure data on my thumb drive and buying an IronKey or the like wasn't enough.

My PC, laptop, and external drives all run truecrypt and I am not worried. They are still safe from random crackheads stealing them when I am away for the day. I'm pretty sure my browser history isn't going to shock the NSA if they have a backdoor into my machine. They probably see worse.

Tag for the discussion. There are a lot of us that developed standards and guidelines around Truecrypt because we didn't want to use Bitlocker or another closed-source product.
I'll hang tight for confirmation. Something doesn't smell right here. |

It's just someone that got into the sourceforge site.

The guy who was auditing TrueCrypt says he has no idea what 'security issues' they're talking about. Twitter
The SourceForge downloads have supposedly been replaced with a new exe as well. Definitely sounds like a hack job. |

So why hasn't that been done? Because you're wrong about the nature of the software. The fact that all attempts to shut down TrueCrypt have been through subterfuge outside of the rule of law proves you are wrong and I am right. But hey, the ends justify the means, right Tovarish? This also protects a civilian who forgot their password from being indefinitely in prison due to contempt of court. Yes Tovarish! Doubleplus goodthink! State protect subjects from selves, so that State does not have to punish as much! In other news, this months chocolate ration is increased to 30 grams. |

What the fuck is going on....
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7812133 The version on SF is a NEW version and is signed using NEW signing keys. IE the original developers did not sign this release. edit: keyfile was renamed in the source repository, but is the SAME key. Whoever released this today had access to the private key of the developers who did all of the previous versions. Here is the changelog for todays code from 7.1: Definitely looks like it was forked from pre-release code and then modified to add in all the insecure version warnings: https://github.com/warewolf/truecrypt/compare/master...7.2 Here is the ycombinator link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7812133 What.
