+ TrueCrypt is Dead; What Does This Mean for Mac Users? Posted on June 2nd, 2014 by TrueCrypt has long been a widely respected whole-drive encryption product. It's multi-platform (Mac, Windows, and Linux), free and open-source software, and it's widely believed to be virtually impenetrable. On Wednesday, seemingly out of the blue, the TrueCrypt homepage (truecrypt.org) began redirecting to the project's SourceForge page (truecrypt.sourceforge.net), which had a note stating the following: ' WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues 'This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt. '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.
You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.' There was also a new version of TrueCrypt available, version 7.2, that only allows volume decryption.

In other words, it can be used for removing TrueCrypt encryption only, not installing it. Immediately the security community began frantically trying to figure out what was going on. What had happened? Had TrueCrypt really been canceled, or was this all an elaborate hoax? It may well be that “plausible deniability” with TrueCrypt is what is dead.
When a computer forensic auditor detects TrueCrypt on a machine, might that encourage them to dig deeper and then find the traces left behind by TrueCrypt of encryption? It is like leaving some breadcrumbs for someone to follow. The same is true of whole disk encryption methods.
Don’t get me wrong I like FileVault 2 a lot, but the very fact that a whole disk is encrypted could be construed as a breadcrumb. Perhaps a better solution is what Tao Effect is doing with their Espionage application. With multiple layers of real plausible deniability a person could give up one or more layers but not the layer that contains what is really confidential. I’ve been experimenting with Espionage a lot recently and plan to do a full review shortly. All products (hardware and software) from the USA need to have a “backdoor” for gov.

Services (read NSA) same for other countries, so Microsoft and Apple have there HQ in the USA so there software have a NSA backdoor! Thats a fact! Example: Cisco is forced to open there complete product line for the us gov.! Do you really think the will use cisco products if the do not have backdoor access?
Due the complexity of TrueCrypt encryption its more likely that the site is “modified” to scare you of to use TrueCrypt and use Microsoft / Mac integrated solutions, with are easy to penetrate by gov. There are tons of apps who do encryption etc most of them have there office’s in Yes i use TrueCrypt to protect my clients data, usernames passwords etc. Its a smart idea to protect personal confidential date in a secure locker.
