Fair to doubt but look at the time line. Mcaffee left decades ago, his old code doesn't even run on a modern computer. It's easy to verify even with doubt
At the risk of being a dick, the tiny toe I've dipped into programming inclines me to believe this is bullshit. Libraries are built on top of other libraries, to the point that trying to learn C or it's derivatives is as much about remembering which library has the subroutines you wanna call as it is about understanding syntax.
If it's being continually maintained, a bit less likely than you might think.
When you get into projects that might be 100s of files with 200k lines of code. It reaches a point where no individual knows all the code or what points to what, so, an obscurely named function buried deep might not get spotted.
That's how Microsoft got caught stealing windows code, they didn't find the comment signature to erase it.
Wait. This is incorrect (but possibly more interesting). It is not local software. MX logic is cloud based spam filtering software that works by assigning the email server's MX record to McAfee, they route it through their servers... Which makes it interesting in itself
It always leads back to Hillary.
All roads lead to...
I'm sick of hearing about her damn emails!
McAfee did not own the software company. So how would he have access??
Backdoors maybe, I really have no idea and am not a techfag so just guessing.
He hated the company after be sold it. They rewrote everything new

No. McAfee Associates, Inc. bought MXLogic 15 years after John McAfee was gone.
Maximum pwnage
But if McAfee wasn't involved with the software anymore how does that help?
Does McAfee strike you as the type to leave himself no way back in?
No but after twenty years one would assume software companies aren't recycling code amymore

Poorly phrased.
Windows 3.1 was stolen code. I'm fuzzy on the details, but it was proven in court and then a payoff before judgement.
Sorry, not trying to make stuff up, more like the story was like ~20 years ago and going from hazy memory.
Yeah, I'd been thinking more along the lines of personnel. Who knows though? He's pretty sneaky
see thats an interesting angle, didnt think of that, good !
well he fled the country with no way back in

Link. Or proof plz!
What a twist!
interesting, but John left the company in 1994
It's hard to imagine a worse software than the will that microsoft makes, but mcafee is usually in fourth or fifth place behind them...
Pretty it is all about human trafficking. Including China.
Like I said the white hats have it all so why wouldn't they use it to get China and other countries to play along.
It's a slow demolition of the deep state.
