True mystery of the disappearing TrueCrypt disk encryption software
Quote:
... the website of venerable free disk encryption software TrueCrypt is telling us:
HTML Code:
WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues
Not only that, but the page goes on to state that the project has been closed down, following the end of support for Windows XP.
The motivation seems to be that on all supported operating systems for which TrueCrypt was available, there's now some sort of built-in full disk encryption system.
Yet more curiously, there's a new version numbered 7.2 that can apparently only
decrypt, intended to help you migrate away from the now-defunct TrueCrypt product.
The 7.2 "decrypt only" version can be downloaded for Windows, OS X and Linux.
