Interesting.

My only experience with Veracrypt is via a law firm I was consulting with, who used it to protect some files they were sharing with me. Law firm and their end client are both big, prestigious companies.

Can someone please explain the implications for current Windows users of VeraCrypt?

No new features, no security patches.

Besides Veracrypt, are there any real alternatives to Bitlocker for total drive encryption in Windows?

I would not be surprised if it was some sort of AI driven mistake.

Some guy somewhere deciding to delegate threat assessment to Copilot or some other automated tool.

i would bet a years salaray that you are correct. copilot or some automated process. and then the message is automated with an automated appeal-denial flow.

conspiracy theories are fun and all, but 99.99% of the time it is just incompetence, miscommunication, etc.

Anyone here who could reach out to specific persons inside Microsoft who could fix this?

Reminds me of when users of TrueCrypt were urged to just install BitLocker instead. Sus AF.

Hope this is resolved. I guess I could run linux in a VM and mount volumes there, but this is getting a bit dicey. But Win 10 is my last windows anyway.

Any chance this is the issue?

From TFA: "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."

Yeah, and the first comment beneath that mentions that the most recent version is signed with the "2011 CA" that the article I link to discusses being deprecated.

My guess was that he got caught up in some house-cleaning. My theory being that he's still signing his code the way malware authors also do and got flagged by some automated review that's meant to force him to go get WHCP certified or whatever the new route is.

The article you linked says the change is rolling out in April in evaluation mode.

And if it were related to some kind of scan and malware flagging, the cert would have been revoked. It is not.

Fair enough. Thanks for weighing in.

Microsoft can't be trusted.

Never was, isn't and I guess won't be.
