This led the TrueCrypt Team to immediately stop developing and distributing TrueCrypt, which they announced online through usenet. Hafner alleges all versions of E4M always belonged only to SecurStar, and Le Roux did not have any right to release it under such a license.

It was further stated that Le Roux illegally distributed E4M, and authored an illegal license permitting anyone to base derivative work on the code and distribute it freely. According to the TrueCrypt Team, Hafner claimed in the email that the acknowledged author of E4M, developer Paul Le Roux, had stolen the source code from SecurStar as an employee. Shortly after version 1.0 was released in 2004, the TrueCrypt Team reported receiving email from Wilfried Hafner, manager of SecurStar, a computer security company. Original release of TrueCrypt was made by anonymous developers called 'the TrueCrypt Team'. Several versions and many additional minor releases have been made since then, with the most current version being 7.1a. TrueCrypt was initially released as version 1.0 in February 2004, based on E4M (Encryption for the Masses). Development continues on two forks, VeraCrypt and CipherShed. Though development of TrueCrypt has ceased, an independent audit of TrueCrypt (published in March 2015) has concluded that no significant flaws are present. On, the TrueCrypt website announced that the project was no longer maintained and recommended users find alternative solutions. It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file, or encrypt a partition or the whole storage device ( pre-boot authentication).
