Truecrypt site hacked?

[Derek Trotter]

Yesterday I read about something called Realcrypt.  It does what 
Truecrypt does, but binaries seem to only be available for distros that 
use the RPM package format.  Does anyone know if it's a safe alternative 
to Truecrypt?  If so are there .deb binaries available or where can the 
source be found?
