Came across this TrueCrypt Encryption Software Shut Down, May Be Compromised
interestingly the site truecrypt.org is no longer available and simply redirects to another page where it mentions that truecrypt may not be safe and recommends users to switch to other encryption tools like windows bit locker!!

Yeah I saw the news on Twitter yesterday. Though I personally never used it, many of devs I am following use this to encrypt their portable storage.

Might be because of the Heartbleed bug.

Crap.

What's the best alternative?

Some Swedes have reportedly forked it. I read it on my phone today but now I am unable to find the link.

I use the old version, I guess I am safe.

This was the link I was looking for earlier provided by Softpedia
