[@DON] Veracrypt is the descendant of the original open source product truecrypt that was abandoned after a long time as the goto solution due to a discovered vulnerability that apparently the original developers felt insurmountable (so I heard)
It is one of the best encrypted vault systems out there but it goes against my philosophy of don’t put anything on a computer you cannot live with it being revealed… and while there is always a measure of plausible deniability available with certain veracrypt configurations… there becomes a risk if you encrypt important or even not so important data on a system once it’s encrypted and if it get investigated it could be *anything* and certain people will do anything to obtain unknown secret information worth strong encryption… and one could be coerced into providing details of the encryption system used and pass keys/phrases on threat of physical harm to you or your loved ones… It’s not worth the risk of just the accusation that I have secrets on my systems as then you can get the press and opposing groups spreading disinformation that you can only dispute by revealing the aforementioned secrets and even then there will always be those that will say there’s probably other secrets stored elsewhere and claims of where there’s smoke there’s always fire… which is of course not true but many fall for it.
