Question: How would you, as DIA or NSA or 'Q' White Hats, come out and explain to world leaders, foreign governments, corporations, Billions of people... that you have copies of every conversation, every transaction, every email...and have the ability to monitor anything in the world any time you wish? How would you announce it without giving away your entire infrastructure and destroying your monitoring ability in the future? How can you disclose that info without starting a war? Or causing world-wide murders and "suicides" in certain corrupt circles?
John McAffee.
HE was the one listening. HE gathered up all of this information that is now coming out on illegal activities. HE was the one tracing cryptocurrency transactions. HE listened to your phone calls, read your emails, monitored government officials and corporations by tracking their computers. :>) We didn't realize he was a rogue.
Well... done is done. Too bad he's dead or we could have questioned him. :>) Here are the 31 Terrabytes of information he collected, and it is verified as legitimate. Oh my!!! Look at all of the criminal information! Weird that he had everything on the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, and it's all available now for everyone to read.
The DIA, NSA, etc... never have to disclose that THEY gathered the info. There is nothing disclosed about how THEY monitor computers, cell phone calls, transactions of all sorts... so their infrastructure remains safe and beyond question. They now can release anything they want and blame it on John McAffee. This seems to be pretty convenient just before the White Hats make SHTF world wide.
he created software that had a backdoor into every pc?
I don't think so. I'm a web dev myself, it's not the same as software engineering but I know that any widely used program from the 80s has gone through so many total redesigns to make it to 2021. I doubt a single line of code is reused from the original product McAfee made, for one it was made for an entirely different set of processors so it really wouldn't even be compatible in the first place.
good points...well Microsoft had a backdoor into every PC....we shall see!
