TrueCrypt WTF
I have no idea what’s going on with TrueCrypt. There’s a good summary of the story at ArsTechnica, and Slashdot, Hacker News, and Reddit all have long comment threads. See also Brian Krebs and Cory Doctorow.
Speculations include a massive hack of the TrueCrypt developers, some Lavabit-like forced shutdown, and an internal power struggle within TrueCrypt. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see what develops.

If people need cross platform there’s PySkein, pgp and Blake2 implementations around. Skein java works on Android devices as well and if your phone is rooted can always use dmcrypt anyways
