How about research it yourself before spreading false information about a really amazing tool masked as a question.

Or do you have a competing tool? Let me guess. Someone will ask for an alternative and another will suggest..

Uh no. I'm literally just saying the things I know about Truecrypt. Its a very old and as far as I was aware its no longer maintained and not recommended for securing things. Am I wrong?

You are incorrect. TrueCrypt was audited and passed, and lives on in multiple forms under multiple maintainers, the most well known being VeraCrypt.

If you are unsure of a fact, you can always do some quick research using your web browser before posting incorrect information in a way that may be misunderstood.

This doesn't mean it has a "fundamental flaw that means everything it encrypted is trivial to unlock today."

There has been no evidence to suggest that is true. An NCC Group audit found no significant flaws: https://opencryptoaudit.org/reports/TrueCrypt_Phase_II_NCC_O...
