People who spread false information can, in the worst case, even destroy whole companies and lifes!
It makes me really angry that there are so many people out there telling things that simply aren't true or only speculations, just to gain more followers, likes and whatever. They push themselves by pushing others down. That's a sign of mentla weakness in my eyes.

I hope McAfee didn't post that a bad intention as this would be more than a mean move. Rumors about hacking combined with the word cryptocurrency, which makes a lot of people still nervous or insecure as they almost know nothing about this and so don't really trust it anyways, is like poison to companies in the crypto sector.

Instead of people informing each other about the technology that surely will play a very big role in our future, a lot of people still spread rumors that can cause bad things to companies and scare potential new customers.

I hope people start to think more about what they do, before they speak. If you aren't really sure on whether an information is right or wrong, better be silent before harming others. It's hard to take a rumor back and rehabilitate the own reputation after such a wrong information.

Thank you for sharing this case and telling your opinion to us! :)

"If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.” :)
