VeraCrypt Update...

VeraCrypt has issued a statement regarding vulnerabilities found in it's software and are requiring you to update...
 
An audit of open source file and disk encryption package VeraCrypt turned up a number of critical vulnerabilities that have been patched in the month since the assessment was wrapped up...
 
Just download the latest stable release (v.1.19) from their website and install their latest version which will give you the option to upgrade once the install starts...

You will be required to restart so it would be best to run CCleaner before you install, that way you'll have a clean restart...

Another thing to think about is how the Justice System is gaining access to devices now and that it's easier for them because retinal and fingerprint security doesn't fall under the 5th amendment...

So, thinking "inside" the box here ;-) by encrypting your data with VeraCrypt ensures you that you won't have to give access to them regardless if they gain access to your device or not...

VeraCrypt is secured by a "Password" so give them access to your device, but if your data is protected with VeraCrypt and password protected you're protected by the 5th amendment...

It's time to take data security to the next level and that's encryption and VeraCrypt is very easy to use and is very secure, but more importantly your US Constitutional right to protect you from self-incrimination...
