Comment on TrueCrypt, the final release, archive

This really doesn't feel satisfying. What about the bizarre way the project was taken down? They really recommend Bitlocker? They literally think you should just grep for "crypt" and use the result for your needs?

I guess I can buy that declaring it insecure because the dev team is no longer maintaining it makes sense.

Assuming this is legit, I wonder if the move toward cloud storage and mobile devices made them feel that they were slipping into a niche need. I disagree (to some extent), but maybe they felt the bulk of their usefulness was behind them.
