Mysteriously? Really?
The reason was clear, they never got the email for account verification, and were locked out. MS messed up.
I really hate headlines these days.
“Not every ‘WTF micro$oft’ moment is a slam dunk,” he tweeted. “I’ve emailed VeraCrypt personally and we’ll get him unblocked. I’ve already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it’s literally paperwork.”

It’s not a conspiracy, just plain old incompetence.
Microsoft Gave FBI Keys To Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

My conspiracy theory: those signing keys are very “tasty” maybe Microsoft was aware that some state-sponsored attacker got hold on them and blacklisted for everyone’s safety.
Imagine what would happen if NSA or that other Israeli spy company could sign fake veracrypt or Wireshark binaries
Why the fuck would any of those organizations still being using Microsoft to begin with?
These were the developer accounts to sign their software to run on Windows
My dude. It is literally in the first paragraph of the article.
