Re: [LUG] Truecrypt

Lots of FUD around regarding it. It's possible the websites have been compromised (and the GPG key, although it's apparently an older one) - but if so it's a mightily well orchestrated effort.

I'm waiting for the smoke to clear and check back in a day or two.

truecrypt.org redirects to:

"The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (clickÂhereÂfor more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform."

Looks to have happened in the last 2 hours. http://sourceforge.net/projects/truecrypt/ I'm downloading the source now...

This is a bad thing
