TL;DR: Elcomsoft releases tool to recover keys from memory from BitLocker, PGP Whole Disk Encryption and TrueCrypt.
This attack is not news, but Elcomsoft makes excellent tools that work so it makes it easier. There is no cracking going on. There is a question around hibernation - Truecrypt can dismount drives before hibernating so might be protected.

Effectively, it's now an "enterprise solution."
