“We’ve supported this workflow for years for multiple disk encryption packages, and now we have it for VeraCrypt, one of the most commonly used disk encryption package in the criminal world.”
Two things:
1. I’m sure FileVault and BitLocker are also commonly used by criminals. In fact probably more so in the first instance, unintentionally, it given it’s enabled by default in modern MacOS.
2. It seems to imply VeraCrypt is commonly used by criminals. That might be true I guess, but I’d bet more non-criminals than criminals use VeraCrypt.
Maybe VeraCrypt just stands out more as a red flag rather than using native LUKS/FileVault/BitLocker for Linux/MacOS/Windows accordingly.
I also don’t see what elcomsoft have to gain by writing these blogposts? Who are their target audience?
