RE: John McAffee To Launch His Own Token: MCF - But It's More Than Just a Token

Yes. I have read that he released virii into the wild that his software was already able to defeat. A great marketing ploy, but lacking in ethical substance, I reckon.

I am reminded of Microsoft railing against hackers, so angering them, and then making software easily hacked, ensuring that the hax0rs would pirate it in droves, develop an ecosystem of software around it, and then convince their clients to use it because they already depended on it. Perhaps the greatest marketing ploy ever implemented in the history of computing.

Sort:  

you mean after they stole the personal computer from apple :D just know that there are many stories floating around. I haven't read anything so I haven't got anything to say.

Yes, exactly!
