What really happened to TrueCrypt back in 2014? Did anyone ever find out?
It was a widely used encryption tool, that was suddenly dropped with the message " not safe, use something else".

I remeber it happening. There was no backdoor. It was during that time there was a push to put backdoors or weaken public encryption in the name of national security. Truceypt didnt want to play and were threatened with possible legal action. Rather than fight it they decided to stop the project.
