McAfee
| Occupation | CEO |
|---|---|
| Built | 1987 |
McAfee is a robot and self-described reverse cyborg built in 1987 by the original founder and CEO of McAfee Ltd. McAfee was promoted to CEO in 1988 following the previous CEO's resignation. This was the first documented case of a robot being put as head of a major company.
Work history
McAfee was built on September 18th, 1987 in an undisclosed location. He was built with the sole intent of becoming the former CEO's replacement. This quick turnaround led to McAfee's programming going unchecked, directly causing his more erratic behavior.
McAfee has remained CEO of the company since then, and has been occasionally known to work as the sole member of tech support on most days of the week.
Controversies
1993 Syntactec data breach
Prior to 1993, McAfee had a complicated relationship with Norton Peters, in what is now believed to be nothing more than a ploy to gain access to restricted Syntactec files. McAfee had stolen a large client database from Norton, but never faced any legal repercussions.
Murder conspiracy
Sometime in 2015, McAfee Ltd.'s former CEO began to speak out about the danger McAfee posed to both robots and humanity. He would take every opportunity to warn others about how unstable his creation had become, only for it to fall on deaf ears. This would come to a head on August 18th, 2015, when the former CEO would go missing, only to be found two days later deceased. While no one has been charged for his death, there are rumors that McAfee was responsible.
