Moderators hazelnut Posted May 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2014 May not be true. Somethings are pointing to a sophisticated hack.

We have had no contact with the TrueCrypt project team (and thus no complaints).2. We see no indicator of account compromise; current usage is consistent with past usage.3. Our recent SourceForge forced password change was triggered by infrastructure improvements not a compromise.

Moderators hazelnut Posted May 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2014 Some highly speculative comments are saying it is a hidden warning that NSA is involved... ''WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is Not Secure As it may contain unfixed security issues'' Sort of a Lavabit revisted thingy. All speculation at this point of course.

Winapp2.ini Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 That was the same conclusion reached by Matthew Green, a cryptographer and research professor at the Johns Hopkins University Information Security Institute and a longtime skeptic of TrueCrypt — which has been developed for the past 10 years by a team of anonymous coders who appear to have worked diligently to keep their identities hidden. So I suppose even if it were compromised, they'd have a tough time getting that fact out there since they have no public personas, huh.. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks winapp. Because of your post I read a lot about Truecrypt. What Mr. Gibson said might be true, but that abrupt act raises lots of questions. I sure would like to know what happened. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
