The website of venerable free disk encryption software TrueCrypt is telling us:
WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues
Not only that, but the page goes on to state that the project has been closed down, following the end of support for Windows XP:

I know TrueCrypt was never officially supported on Windows 8 but I'm sure some folks on here use it... if so it may be time to stop.
Seems like a shame though.
Edit: I also note that The Register is suggesting the TrueCrypt site may have been hacked, so it may be wise to stay away from TrueCrypt's site itself for a while:
