John McAfee Explains How He Milked Information From Belize's Elite 275
paysonwelch points out John McAfee's latest blog post, which "details the complex spy network that he used to tap information from the highest echelons of the Belizean government. He might consider a new career as a movie producer — this blog post is enthralling. Here is an excerpt: 'I purchased 75 cheap laptop computers and, with trusted help, intalled invisible keystroke logging software on all of them — the kind that calls home (to me) and disgorges the text files. I began giving these away as presents to select people — government employees, police officers, Cabinet Minister's assistants, girlfriends of powerful men, boyfriends of powerful women.'"

I don't know, Philip K. Dick or Hunter S. Thompson could have wrote that in their sleep. :D
Hell, it reads almost like one of Dick's short stories.

Just wait until he blogs about bribing his way out of Belize with BitCoin.

If only there were a way to detect such things -- you know, some sort of program that can locate and maybe even remove the offending code. Someone who could produce and sell such a thing would surely do well...
