Default Re: true crypt???

That hack could effect ANY secured PC, not just truecrypt.
From Truecrpyts forums:
Quote:
Of course. This attack requires the attacker to have admin privileges or physical access to your computer. But if such an attacker exists, your computer is already insecure, as he can do anything with it. He has full control over it and you must stop using it. This is just one of the millions of things such an attacker can do.

Nothing new has been discovered.

Under the standard security model, this attack is bogus and the report misleading.
If you are just encrypting a file for mounting as a drive, this "hack" does not break it.

This is a part that scares me:
