I did a doubletake because I read the article like 12 hours ago about VeraCrypt's dev getting locked out of their MS account, then could have sworn it wasn't Wireguard that was affected.
they're both software that's can be used to protect against government surveillance
Two bits of security software.
Makes me wonder if there's been a concerted effort to hack these accounts, and some automated security process has locked them out.
Or maybe it's the governments dislike of VPNs being used to bypass surveillance
The article mentions wireguard having similar issues, so there are probably lots of articles for each case
