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)

No, I am not plunging into it, but if any brave Anons want to do it, please let us know what you find.
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.
