auf Twitter hat jemand angeblich einen Truecrypt-Entwickler erreicht:

    Steven Barnhart (@stevebarnhart) wrote to an eMail address he had
used before and received several replies from “David.” The following
snippets were taken from a twitter conversation which then took place
between Steven Barnhart (@stevebarnhart) and Matthew Green
(@matthew_d_green):

    TrueCrypt Developer “David”: “We were happy with the audit, it
didn't spark anything. We worked hard on this for 10 years, nothing
lasts forever.”

    Steven Barnhart: (Paraphrasing) Developer “personally” feels that
fork is harmful: “The source is still available as a reference though.”

    Steven Barnhart: “I asked and it was clear from the reply that "he"
believes forking's harmful because only they are really familiar w/code.”

    Steven Barnhart: “Also said no government contact except one time
inquiring about a ‘support contract.’ ”

    TrueCrypt Developer “David”: Said “Bitlocker is ‘good enough’ and
Windows was original ‘goal of the project.’ ”

    Quoting TrueCrypt Developer David: “There is no longer interest.”

Tails (die Linux Distribution mit Privatsphäre-Fokus) hat schon vor ein
paar Tagen angekündigt, Truecrypt zu ersetzen, und ein paar Alternativen
gelistet: https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/replace_truecrypt/
