[Tech ARP] The Mystery Of TrueCrypt's Disappearance Rev. 2.0

[news 28]

 

 

Dear editor,

 

 

 

We have just posted an article called *The Mystery Of TrueCrypt's

Disappearance Rev. 2.0*.

 

 

 

Quote : *Sometime on the 28th of May, 2014, the anonymous developers of

TrueCrypt mysteriously pulled the plug on their popular encryption

software. They shut down the TrueCrypt.org website and redirected visitors

to a simple page hosted by SourceForge, with a disturbing warning :*

 

 

 

*WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security

issues*

 

*That warning is then followed by instructions on how users may migrate

from TrueCrypt to BitLocker. Right at the end is a link to TrueCrypt 7.2,

the first update since TrueCrypt 7.1a was released in 2012. However, this

version of TrueCrypt will only decrypt TrueCrypt containers - its

encryption ability has been disabled / removed.*

 

* What the heck is going on???*

 

*In this update, we added a new section - "Has TrueCrypt Been Revived?" and

corrected the download links. They are all fully functional now.*
