Versie 1.26.24 van VeraCrypt is uitgekomen. VeraCrypt is ontstaan als een fork van TrueCrypt en is een opensource encryptieprogramma waarmee een harde schijf, partitie of een virtueel volume kan worden versleuteld. VeraCrypt gebruikt de originele broncode van TrueCrypt, maar bevat diverse verbeteringen met betrekking tot de beveiliging. Volumes die met TrueCrypt zijn aangemaakt konden voorheen geopend en geconverteerd worden, maar versie 1.25.9 is de laatste versie die dit nog kon. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
