                <p>Continued research after the first TrueCrypt audit yielded inconclusive results has discovered <a href="http://www.itworld.com/article/2987438/newly-found-truecrypt-flaw-allows-full-system-compromise.html">fatal privilege escalation vulnerabilities allowing for complete takeover</a> (<a href="https://archive.is/tJSlv">archived</a>). So far this is known to affect TrueCrypt on <a href="http://qntra.net/2015/08/windows-10-banned-from-numerous-torrent-trackers/">Windows boxes</a>,
 but there is still potential for other flaws to be discovered in 
TrueCrypt on other platforms. Details of the vulnerabilities are not yet
 disclosed, but this supports the possibility that it may not be 
possible at all to develop software offering any level of security on 
the Windows platform.</p>
