A few months ago, someone (journalist?) claimed the authorities were able to crack his strong 30+ char Veracrypt (or TrueCrypt?) password while his computer was turned off. I can not locate the story. (veracrypt.fr)

Does anyone remember seeing this? I really want to know if there was an update to his case. I thought I saw it on HN but I can NOT for the life of me find it now anywhere. Normally I'm not one to buy into "XYZ scrubbed QWERTY from the internet" lines of thought, but I absolutely can not find this story ANYWHERE now.

Edit: It was LUKS, not Vera/TrueCrypt. Thanks @[email protected]

You're right it was LUKS, that is it. Thank you!
