Are ostif.org a big target for DDoS? They hide behind Cloudflare and so become another useful site for gathering intel on ppl who would like to encrypt their files.

Lol, true. Though there may be no browser cf cookie linking, (excepting the info integrated and bought sold on backend among sites servers, cf, and agencies entities), check if your browser reuses the same cf tls session keys / metadata for cf across sites...

https://ostif.org/the-veracrypt-audit-results/ We should take into account, that almost all the critical vulnerabilities were found in the NEW implementation of encrypting the boot loader that supports UEFI (it was added a few months ago for the first time to support encryption for the new Bios type machines). It's still not mature at all.... so give it at least 6 more months to become stable. *The bottom line of the audit (except the UEFI):* It means that the core code/90% of the features in VeraCrypt are absolutely strong and great, including encryption of Legacy Bios machines and creating separated encrypted volumes.
