Windows TrueCrypt Fatally Flawed

   Posted on [1]September 30, 2015 by [2]Bingo Boingo

   Continued research after the first TrueCrypt audit yielded inconclusive
   results has discovered [3]fatal privilege escalation vulnerabilities
   allowing for complete takeover ([4]archived). So far this is known to
   affect TrueCrypt on [5]Windows boxes, but there is still potential for
   other flaws to be discovered in TrueCrypt on other platforms. Details
   of the vulnerabilities are not yet disclosed, but this supports the
   possibility that it may not be possible at all to develop software
   offering any level of security on the Windows platform.

       Further: The VeraCrypt derivative forked from TrueCrypt though this
       particular issue was reportedly patched, likely continues to posses
       undiscovered security issues.
