Open Crypto Audit gives TrueCrypt a passing grade
At his blog, cryptographer Matt Green announced that the Open Crypto Audit project's review of the now-abandoned TrueCrypt encryption tool is complete, and that "based on this audit, Truecrypt appears to be a relatively well-designed piece of crypto software. The NCC audit found no evidence of deliberate backdoors, or any severe design flaws that will make the software insecure in most instances.
" TrueCrypt was abruptly abandoned by its anonymous developers in 2014, leading some to suspect that a serious vulnerability had been discovered. The final Open Crypto Audit report [PDF] suggests otherwise, which is good news for users as well as for the multiple open-source projects that have subsequently developed TrueCrypt-compatibility support.

Another possibility was that spooks approached them with an ultimatum.
