Controversial computer security luminary, John McAfee, will be making a guest appearance at Infosecurity Europe in June, the organizer has announced. He will be speaking at an invite-only, 20th anniversary evening event on June 3 at London’s Olympia, in front of around 1000 attendees.
Among other messages on security, privacy and surveillance, McAfee has indicated that he will be delivering insight on last year’s Sony Pictures hack. He claims that the hackers contacted him directly, giving him insight into their activities and, possibly, identities.
McAfee is famed for founding the eponymous antivirus company, and perhaps more so for a string of incidents in his personal life which have seen him caught up in a murder investigation, going on-the-run in Central America.
Today, McAfee also posted a short video in response to Infosecurity Europe’s vlog campaign, which invites participants to answer the question: What is the biggest unsolved information security challenge facing us now? Using the hastag #TellInfosecurity, vloggers can tweet @Infosecurity with their videos, which will be played during Infosecurity's 20th anniversary party.
