Hi everyone,
I want to share an update following my absence over the past few months.
I have encountered some challenges but the most serious one is that Microsoft terminated the account I have used for years to sign Windows drivers and the bootloader. You can see below a screenshot of the message shown when I tried to sign in.
Microsoft did not send me any emails or prior warnings. I have received no explanation for the termination and their message indicates that no appeal is possible.
I have tried to contact Microsoft through various channels but I have only received automated replies and bots. I was unable to reach a human.
This termination impacts my work beyond VeraCrypt and has consequences for my daily job.
Currently I'm out of options.
Regarding VeraCrypt, I cannot publish Windows updates. Linux and macOS updates can still be done but Windows is the platform used by the majority of users and so the inability to deliver Windows releases is a major blow to the project.
I'm open to proposals and help.

Veracrypt on windows is perhaps the single most security theater thing I can imagine. It is 2026, we do not need to talk abuot Veracrypt or Truecrypt on ./g/, it is a joke.

Use bitlocker,any real company does, this is not a debaate this is a fact.

maybe try somewhere else honestly dude, we need computers to be secure (actually) and teh only realistic way to do that is on BSD/Linux with GNU Privacy Guard. Exactly like the 90's.

I personally use Linux, and I use veracrypt.
This is mostly because I want my data to be accessible on Windows machine too, since I mainly use a USB drive.
This said, I hope you can sort this out cause Veracrypt is goated software.
Also it'd be cool if veracrypt accepted XMR donations

Good to know that veracrypt was safe.
As for bitlocker - It's actually free from back doors since mil and government use it.
However, for corporate use, the keys can be stored on the azure domain, and they extended this to their personal accounts where if you are not careful your key will be 'backed up for you' on your microsoft account.
I mean, what's wrong, you trust microsoft, right? You'd have to be to be using Windows in the first place. People who complain about bitlocker have some screws loose - You're already running windows. They already have the ability to suck up all your files and folders and send them wherever they want whenever you run it. The fuck do they need to backdoor the encryption for? You're stupid enough to just run windows for them.

You don't need VeraCrypt if you are only on Linux but this signing issue is Microslop exclusive anyway and doesn't affect Linux use. My issue is basically the same as this guy: >>108555841

bitlocker is a joke and is conceptually the same as locking your front door but keeping the key right in front of it under the mat. there are experiments where people were able to exfil the bitlocker keys from pins on the motherboard and tpm during boot. as long as the bad actor steals your whole computer and not just the hard drive by itself, bitlocker is useless. it's akin to preparing to the case where your front door gets stolen and the mat is left behind, and you don't want them to be able to open it.
>>
>>108556738
The default bitlocker behaviour is insecure. It just unlocks automatically from TPM. There's no exfiltration needed, you just turn the computer on. You need to go into group policy editor to enable proper passwords, and even then I think their "enhanced PIN" caps out at 20 characters.

I bet the FBI under Kumar Patel Pajeet was frustrated when they encountered some encrypted harddrive. They then called Microsoft to give them the Bitlocker keys, like usual and when they were told that it uses Veracrypt which doesn't glow, they threw a fit and had Trump bommercall Nutella to demand they stop Veracrypt because it hurts Murrica's freedumz.

>only one i can think of,
That's because you're a degenerate freak. With encryption, you, or a company, can exchange or dispose of old hard drives without any care. This is extremely important for anyone that has to deal with confidential client data.
>>
>>108558216
>feds are precedented to give over bitlocker keys
Only if you opt-in to save them to Microsoft for convenience. This option is appropriate for 95% of people, because their threat model doesn't include the FBI.
Microsoft isn't turning over bitlocker keys to Jamal when he steals your laptop.

There totally no disgruntled or drug-addicted people working at microsoft that would give up the keys to their buddy jamal for a quick high. Nor at the FBI.
Roflmao.

>government can enforce MS release the key
You don't have to give Microsoft the key. That's a convenience for Susan the soccer mom.
>>108562016
If your threat model includes the government you don't give them the key. Also no, Microsoft isn't giving anything to Jamal the laptop thief, he cannot even get in the front entrance. Are you retarded?

>>108562130
> Also no, Microsoft isn't giving anything to Jamal
So you think there’s no employees at microsoft and that it’s some kind of conscious individual entity?

I don't need microsoft's permission to install anything.
What "application" or "drivers" would I EVER need to install? The internet is dead. Nothing interesting or novel has been created in ages, and I sure as hell don't play modernslop games. I do not need to comply with new HTTP-skirting web technologies to enable "DRM" or whatever. I have not installed a significant piece of new software in 15 years. Anything I need I can write myself. My keyboard is 43 years old. Can you even comprehend that? The device my fingers are touching right this second to communicate this message to you is old enough to be your father.

Pedophiles use it to hide their child sexual abuse material (child pornography). It's the only real use case for filesystem encryption at that level. If you're just, say, backing up company source code, a passworded zip works fine.

I have the portable version of Veracrypt on my desktop.
I never install programs like that, I go to their website and download the portable version, and it just works.
I also use keyfiles, and hidden volumes.
The reason for this security is simple. If I piss the feds/cops off, and they get my drives, they won't have access to my music, games, movies, TV shows, anime, cartoons, porn, text files, PDFs, and other information that can be used to build a psychological profile on me. It's the same reason I don't use Spotify, as Spotify can build a psychological profile on you based on your musical tastes.
I keep all of my data as obfuscated and hidden as possible. My email is used for vanilla business reasons only. I never use X, Facebook/IG, Tiktok, Snapchat, Telegram, Signal, Discord, or any other social media or chat programs, I never leave YT comments, I never play online games, and I never chat in livestreams.
I also intentionally feed false information back into the internet by browsing things I have no interest in, and even things I hate from time to time, so any internet usage fingerprinting has my tastes/personality vague and false.

veracrypt can't be trusted anymore. the main dev disappeared, then suddenly reappeared with a new update, then he made a blog post urging people to stop using veracrypt.
if you want encryption on windows, use xen/kvm with luks.

It’s because of the BlackLotus vulnerability and the 2011 Secure Boot DBX key that will be deprecated in July 2026. They aren't targeting VeraCrypt deliberately. You lot have posted over 100 shitposts with zero actual knowledge, which is honestly pathetic.
That French baguettehead should have known better, considering this security issue has been public for three years. Microsoft has been screaming enterprise mitigation since 2023. Imagine writing encryption software for Windows and having no clue that your signed binaries and dependencies rely on an ancient Secure Boot key.
