The McAfeeAterlife telegram account has posted 3 swarm links:
(Swam is a storage protocol that can store files on the Ethereum blockchain, something we have suspected based on the $WHACKD token on McAfee wallet)

How to access swarm: https://www.ethswarm.org/
No, I am not plunging into it, but if any brave Anons want to do it, please let us know what you find.
WHY? Why does crucial information that could change the course of our country and by extension humanity have to be so F-ing hard to access? WHY does it have to be hidden in a “READY PLAYER ONE” style puzzle? Suppose you do crack it, then what??? You’re going to release that shit to the world. Just like any good Patriot would do. Which is what the F-ing guy who hid it in the first place should have done.
While I don't buy into the whole "mcafee afterlife" thing, I can at least answer the why.
Over the years I've had many things go missing online. Wiped out, removed, deleted without a trace. Blockchain based decentralized storage structures like etherium/swarm can't be censored the same way. If it's out there, it's safe.
In theory if I were to have a dead-man's switch, I certainly wouldn't want to upload anything to the front-facing internet. Surest way to throw out any hope of your information lasting. Tor used to be a decent option but it was infiltrated with some pretty slick firefox hacks from our intelligence agencies.
But again, I'm still not sold on this account - a lot of these dumps are repeated content that have already made the rounds. Time will tell I guess.
