TrueCrypt is Now Abandonware?!
mouser:
What the heck!?!?!?
Bizarre. I can't wait to hear more about this.
From the boingboing page, this sums up my reaction:
"The Sourceforge project page for Truecrypt now sports a cryptographically signed notice that Truecrypt should no longer be used as it is not secure. The news came on the heels of a crowdfunded $70K security audit of the open source, anonymously maintained software giving it a relatively positive initial diagnosis. The announcement -- signed by the same key that has been used to sign previous, legitimate updates -- links Truecrypt's deprecation to Microsoft's decision to cease supporting Windows XP, though no one seems to have a theory about how these two facts relate to one another."

AFAIK the download provided there probably contains a trojan.
(Well, the spirit of Open Source, right? Secure and trustable and everything.)

Either that, or the real reason Vista took so long to release was due to protracted negotiations on how big of a back door to put where.
