You can try to make of that what you can.
Nowadays it seems that almost no one knows for sure what is not compromised.
One thing that we do know for sure is that encryption doesn't do a whole lot if you have weak passwords. For an idea on how to have strong passwords that are practical to remember without physical record of the password, look at the following:

VeraCrypt has some critical vulnerabilities. It will be interesting to see how quickly all of those identified (at this point) get fixed.

If anything, the fact that VeraCrypt is being audited is a good thing. TrueCrypt went years without an audit. Having critical crypto projects regularly audited is the only way to have any confidence in its security.
