Programs based on TrueCrypt launched soon after the end of TrueCrypt, and TrueCrypt users started to switch to programs such CipherShed, VeraCrypt and other TrueCrypt alternatives. The developers published a message on the project's website and as part of setup that stated that TrueCrypt was not secure to use.Īn audit in two parts - see the article on the results of the first and second part of the audit - concluded that TrueCrypt had no backdoors but that it had some vulnerabilities.
