Casting a suspicious eye
Looking at my TrueCrypt partition...check the backup...yup, still there. Backup of header files...check.

Not worried.

Besides, all the important stuff on my network is on Linux. This attack would still work on Linux...after they managed to hack their way on the user account, figured out a way to escalate their permissions, uploaded their software and carried out the attack. So much easier infecting Windows boxes and you can automate all the hard stuff. Once again Linux users get to sit back and watch Windows users take a beating. That has to hurt. It's hard to watch sometimes but always entertaining.
