Well, it's been more than 3 weeks since TrueCrypt went down, and one thing's for sure - the website was not hacked, and it was the actual intent of the mysterious developers of TrueCrypt to pull the plug. On the other hand, there were conspiracy theories that the developers were being threatened by the NSA to divulge or add a backdoor, or were the NSA themselves! On one end, many TrueCrypt users were hoping that the website was just hacked and that the world, as they knew it, would return. There has been much speculation about the reasons for pulling the plug. However, this version of TrueCrypt will only decrypt TrueCrypt containers - its encryption ability has been disabled / removed. Right at the end is a link to TrueCrypt 7.2, the first update since TrueCrypt 7.1a was released in 2012. That warning is then followed by instructions on how users may migrate from TrueCrypt to BitLocker. You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt. WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues They shut down the website and redirected visitors to a simple page hosted by SourceForge, with a disturbing warning : Sometime on the 28th of May, 2014, the anonymous developers of TrueCrypt mysteriously pulled the plug on their popular encryption software.
