VeraCrypt is what most moved to iirc.
I still actually wonder what actually happened to TrueCrypt. Did a dev get threatened with a NSA or FBI NSL? Did they get asked to implant a bug so they shut it down instead? So many questions.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 6y agoConspiracy theory me says it was the NSA. From their home page warning. > WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues. The phrase “not secure as” is interesting as the first letter spell out NSA.
- jlgaddis 6y agoAlso, the first letters of "unfixed security" are "U.S." which could be another hint. Plus, "Using TrueCrypt" -- "UTC". According to Wikipedia, UTC is "a successor to Greenwich Mean Time" -- Greenwich, London, England. GCHQ is in England! So, obviously, it was a partnership between NSA and GCHQ! Surely we can come up with even more irrefutable evidence^W^Woutrageous theories if we devote a few minutes to it.
