Greedy clown on sickening drama🤔

Lol, they won the Pwnie Award!
Coming next (probably): McAfee and Bitfi threatening the Pwnie Awards, all the judges, My Little Pony and Hasbro.
Seriously though, this hack isn't something that can be patched with a firmware upgrade. They would need to recall all the wallets and build a new product from scratch. If you are unfortunate enough to own one of these, I suggest you try for a refund.
He's such a clown, this dude is correct.

It's been hacked again.
This time the private keys are extracted in less than 2 minutes. In response, Bitfi have ignored the issue and instead decided just to end their security bounty program, presumably in the hope that people will stop just constantly hacking their "unhackable" wallet.

He uses his public image as an asset to help promote ICOs. (https://mcafeecryptoteam.com/effect.html)
He also uses his public image as his own cell phone wallpaper.
What a twat!

Probably because he wants him to hack his personal device (loaded with $20 mil). Anyways, I wouldn't travel to McAfee's house to humiliate him + pocket $20 mil (or even $100 mil) knowing what he is capable of doing[1].
that guy is crazy...

Guess so, but the remote hack is the one people should be more concerned about, not evil maids and that. It's not as if the world is infested with experts peeking through your window looking for hardware wallets.
I would guess that without physical access no one will be able to access coins, though obviously physical access is part of hacking too.
I would happily turn up at Mr. McAfee's door along with a few of these.

I don't really see why anyone needs to travel anywhere since there's this new thing out called the internet but there you go.

The shiller in chief has upped the game considerably and now claims to have 20 million dollars in a wallet and will fly the chief hacker out to obtain it.

And the hacker is willing to have a go if they come to London.

how it works? why the hardware wallet is unhackable? what method that they use? im very curious about the system that lock that hardware wallet, it seems like from the future that we can't hack it
Is it true that the hardware wallet cannot be hack or unhackable? Because I doubt about it because there are so many hackers that very smart to hack it. Remember, there is no such a perfect wallet that unhackable. But, or maybe the right word is the wallet is very hard to hack. We will see this news. I hope it's true and it will be a breakthrough for wallet development.
It's not. Read the goddam thread before making a post. It's just a brain wallet with a shit, unsafe and easily hackable hardware that can be compared with a cheap android phone.Hacking the Bitfi. Part 1
‘Unhackable’ Bitfi hardware rooted within a week

Does anyone know how the private key is generated?
I'm really hoping (but really not, for the sake of their customers) that it's something stupid and obvious, like a single SHA256 of the passphrase.

I wrote up the algorithm here last month: https://rya.nc/bitfi-wallet.html

it will be very interesting to see it in practice! Now it's very popular to create your own wallets! the more so if he did it, then this wallet will be popular well.

McAfee and Bitfi are very confident about their crypto-wallet's security.
Highly overconfident, as the wallet is utter garbage security wise. It's like they *tried* to make it insecure.

McAfee partnered with hardware wallet company Bitfi last month to launch the first "truly unhackable and open-source crypto-wallet," according to CoinTrust. Hardware wallets are cryptocurrency wallets that store your private keys in a secure hardware device.McAfee and Bitfi are very confident about their crypto-wallet's security.

I dont believe on john mcafee. I think he's a business man who use crypto community for his own benefit and also i do read a news that its been hacked and we know who is mcafee he just a person who are always being too much in anything that he promoted.

Most of the hacks we hear about are being being lax with their security. Nothing is truly unhackable because people are well .... people and will screw it all up.

I am particularly reassured by this quote.
“As of now, we have no evidence that our device can be hacked and if someone succeeds in doing so then we will immediately put out a fix to all devices to address the vulnerability that was discovered and it will be unhackable once again.”
Who knew it was all so simple?

They misunderstood the unhackable concept.
I think if your dick is on the line, you lose some sleep and that causessome severe delusional ideas about the meaning of basic concepts, and added to that, some schedule 7 drug use.
We all know Mr McAfee is not all together at all times. I have never see any Trezor or Ledger being hacked, so I figure they pulled
that out of their bunghole.
