Does anyone remember seeing this? I really want to know if there was an update to his case. I thought I saw it on HN but I can NOT for the life of me find it now anywhere. Normally I’m not one to buy into “XYZ scrubbed QWERTY from the internet”, but I absolutely can not find this story ANYWHERE now and it seems like it should be easily found with keywords.

If anyone interested has a Twitter account, would you mind searching there for Truecrypt and Veracrypt to see what comes up? That’s the one place I haven’t looked because I don’t have an account.

    VeraCrypt was created as a fork of TrueCrypt because TrueCrypt underwent a code audit and they felt it wasn’t secure enough. Older version of VeraCrypt were also found to have vulnerabilities. It’s a never ending race between castle walls and cannonballs when it comes to this stuff. Maybe the journalist had TrueCrypt or an older unpatched version of VeraCrypt.
