Threat Score
The VeraCrypt developer says Microsoft terminated the account used to sign Windows drivers and the bootloader, preventing new signed Windows updates; Microsoft may revoke the certificate authority used to sign the VeraCrypt bootloader, which could cause systems using VeraCrypt full-disk encryption to fail to boot around mid/late 2026 if the issue is not resolved.
