Eccentric cybersecurity pioneer John McAfee has recently promoted an “unhackable” cryptocurrency hardware wallet, along with global payments technology company Bitfi. The wallet reportedly supports various cryptocurrencies, including privacy-centric Monero (XMR).
A press release published by Bitfi and recently shared by John McAfee to his over 800,000 Twitter followers claims that the company’s new product, Bitfi Wallet, is “the first unhackable, open source hardware wallet with an accompanying dashboard.”
It details that an initial introduction to insiders in the blockchain space was made, and that McAfee acknowledged the wallet “is indeed unhackable.” The eccentric cybersecurity pioneer reportedly joined the company’s team after this. He was quoted as saying:
Of all today’s elaborate and sophisticated methods for making wallets secure and easy to use, surely none is as epic as that of the new Bitfi wallet. Several of my competitors have pioneered innovative methods to protect private keys, but Bitfi pulled out all the stops to ensure that the private key can never be obtained by illicit means. No other hardware wallet has ever been built to this level of sophistication.
