McAfee Unplugged
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN MCAFEE
“Steve Morgan, in the field of cybersecurity, knows me, perhaps, better than anyone. We have worked together extensively, both professionally and personally, on numerous projects, and there is little about me that Steve has not been privy to.” – John McAfee
Steve Jobs has been widely quoted from “The Crazy Ones“, part of Apple Computer, Inc.’s original “Think Different” campaign — which began in 1997. Jobs said:
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do”
John McAfee, cybersecurity luminary and legend, is without question one of the crazy ones.
Steve Morgan, founder & Editor-In-Chief at Cybersecurity Ventures, has written numerous articles and blogs about John McAfee. Steve has focused mainly on McAfee the Cyber Scientist, while leaving the rest of his life to the media.
“McAfee Unplugged” was supposed to be John McAfee’s true life story and biography, as told to Steve Morgan. Instead, Steve is writing a series of blogs and articles — and collaborating with other media writers — to share a unique window into the life and times of John McAfee, founder of his namesake anti-virus company which was the hottest and fastest growing security company of its time, had a successful IPO in 1992, and ultimately sold to Intel Corporation (while still bearing John McAfee’s name) for $7.7 billion in 2010.
