Bitcoin Forum

He's currently calling a lot of coins and telling people to buy buy buy. He's obviously hacked so turn of your bots and don't follow his calls for now.

Obv either that or that is the fake account that was made in lieu of these pump and dump calls? Either way stop trying to follow a pump do your research and let your coins pump on their own time.

How ironic that the head of one of the most prominent anti-virus software out there had his twitter hacked.

This guy is a pain in the ass.. i am worried about the people who had their bots turned on when he spreaded the word of this coins. He is a dumb, he was obviously going to get hacked soon because of all the controversial pumps and dumps that he has been doing.

Could be the "officiaI" account where the L is actually an uppercase i. But even the real account is just a cash grabbing pumper that should be shunned along with Palm Beach.

No its his official I follow him for a while now.

Yes, he just posted on twitter that his account was hacked and twitter notified him that his account was hacked and he said the coins posted as tweets were not from him because he is not going to give anymore coin of the day now he will give coin of the week that he announced yesterday. That is why I recommend all of you to only buy coins which you feel is good and buy with your own research and do not rely on others.

Confirmed

The antivirus guy got hacked!

Yeah I agree it could ruin his reputation, he needs to come out an official statement about this, although some of the coin he is posting are indeed good coins to invest nevertheless getting your account hacked is not really good if you are one of the top man in the cyber security world.

Mcafee is just the head of a public pump and dump group. Him and palm beach are the same, ironically - neither are going to name a coin of the month in December, unless McAfee gets his twitter account back and he does his altcoin of the moment tweets

Already confirmed his official account has been hacked. Does the quick tweet affected some pumps?

His tweets made me cringed so hard these past few days and now I know the reason behind his tweets. It is very unethical that a person in his position (a well-known personality in technology and cryptocurrency) started a pump and dump scenario that made so many people lose their money. I just can't believe that he was hacked and somehow it is very ironic that he provide security to other people while he can't protect his own account properly. He should learn a thing or two out of this situation.  ::)

Yes it did, BAT got pumped pretty hard. But I think people also have bots linked to his calls that auto buy when he says his coin, so I suppose some people lost a lot of money today.

so ironic that the well-known anti-virus founder has been hacked. He selling security but his own was been compromised..

this is really sad for a classmate of john mcafee, we know he works in what field, but why his social media account is so vulnerable to being hacked. if this is true, I think 2x to use the services of its products.

I happened to be on Twitter and witness it all live. After the first couple of Tweets I knew he had been hacked and plus he was talking like a 23 year old. It was crazy. Also crazy. "McAfee" got hacked. You would think he would have decent security.

"Chief of Cybersecurity"

"account was hacked"

 ::)

Hahahha, funny. After fail to predict the coin will goes up and currently now the coin just jump to the deep hole, then now he said that his twitter was hacked? LoL
how if the coin goes up? Then he will said another thing.
Just follow your decision when trading and never because him.

This thing is very funny! I don't like this "pump and dump" campaign... and I hope this will end soon..

How stupid for those are following mcafee's tweet just give an advice to buy and buy more various altcoin without any explanation about that, basically that's just like telling another to buy shitcoin and then pump it for the hackers. Glad to see the McAfee account has back again.

For those are following it just try to do your own research about that rather than follow the hacker.
But a lot of people are spreading it in here.

How do we know his account was hacked? Maybe he's just making shit up and trolling people...

He clearly wasn't hacked, was just trolling arond and messing with bots

When is his twitter get hacked? After posting or before posting?? Hahahaha
I wish this man does not do something else to lie people again.

When he tweet consecutively with those coins like verge and siacoin. I have seen those post on social media and people are feasting to do buy orders on those coins. I'm starting to have some doubts with what he said about bitcoin to reach $1,000,000 on 2020. I'm good if bitcoin will reach $50,000 by that time. I hope he'll stop this pump and dump scene and let the people decide for their coins.

Oh lord lol. I can't see the difference between his posts and the hackers posts, did he really get hacked??   :D ;)

It's crazy that some people will throw in thousands of dollars just because some guy make a post about a coin.

All the more reason to do your own research before you invest.

This was the #1 objective of the week for hackers. Although I'm sure he is laughing on his chair and wasn't hacked. For these who didn't get baited it was a decent opportunity to make some cash in the artificial 'pump;

From the very beginning it was known that in the end he would say it. I wanted to hear the truth from the representatives of Twitter. Is his account realy hacked?

haha thats so crazy is it hacked or does he just pump some coins ;) nobody knows it haha but doesn't matter the markets are crazy at the moment so good night or day

Yes, I was surprised when he suddenly recommended so many tokens, so I didn't follow him on this day, and sure enough, his account was stolen.

Like the other member said that he is not going to tell you coin of the day anymore but the will tell you coin of the week. LOL
I like such joke. The people who follow his twitter just to get coin of the day then now you can stop. Do own reasearch and prediction are more recommended.
