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.

This makes no sense whatsoever. I believe what most of the Reddit commentators do. The NSA started twisting arms with secret suponeas to force the addition of a back door. Rather than comply, and they could not reveal the supoenas - that is a serious crime - the developers put out an obviously bogus explanation in order to warn users off the product.

And a recomendation for Bitlocker? From Microsoft? Give me a break!

It reminds me of that scene from breaking bad where Walter is cursing at Skylar for being so ignorant and not knowing about the drug dealing knowing the feds are monitoring the call.

The question is, is 7.1 secure or not?
