What really happened to TrueCrypt back in 2014? Did anyone ever find out?

It was a widely used encryption tool, that was suddenly dropped with the message " not safe, use something else".

    TrueCrypt used the encryption method you chose, it didn’t have a custom one. Usually that entailed triple layer encryption such as AES-Twofish-Blowfish, but you could use weaker encryption if you desired to.
