TrueCrypt was under the control of the NSA!!!!

For many years TrueCrypt has been the best available software for full-disk encryption (FDE). Many businesses rely on it, from sole proprietors to mega-corps. The shutdown of the truecrypt.org site, and the discontinuing of the software happened suddenly, and provoked much speculation that it was a hacker's prank. As time went by, the shutdown and discontinuance remained, which caused people to think maybe it wasn't a prank at all - that TrueCrypt really has been discontinued. Now, the big question is "why?". I think this hidden message explains all we need to know.

Many security experts have long suspected that TrueCrypt may not be what it seems. The government of the USA is infamous for funding "volunteer" programmers who contribute useful code to open source projects, until trust is established, and then those friendly contributions take a sinister turn with the insertion of bugs that create backdoors for the NSA. It appears the TrueCrypt hidden message is from a whistleblower trying to warn us that it has been penetrated by the NSA, and should not be used.

Same story, different day.
