Four months after announcing that it would no longer ship LC5 (better known as L0phtcrack) to non-US locations, Symantec has officially dropped the entire L0phtcrack product line. L0phtcrack was first produced by L0pht, who merged with @stake in 2000, and was then acquired by Symantec in 2004. When asked why L0phtcrack was being discontinued Symantec replied, "The LC product line no longer fits into Symantec's future product strategy. As a result, Symantec will not be applying any future development resources to this product line and will discontinue all sales."
