Today, as the world of crypto is still settling down after the hack of major exchange Binance, John McAfee took to twitter to extend his support to Changpeng Zhao. He also called on others in the community to rally together to bring the hackers who did this to justice.
It all began with McAfee simply offering his service and years of expertise to CZ:
.@cz_binance - if I can help at all please let me know. Underneath my clown suit is still one of the most experienced cybersecurity experts on the planet. I've been doing it for 51 years. I am at your service.

However it wasn't long before McAfee sent out the rallying cry for others to join in the search for those responsible:
Hackers are the dark wizards of our age. Now is the time for my cybersecurity peers to prove they are wizards of the people. I challenge my one-time awesome and fearful competitor -@e_kaspersky - to join me in offering support to @cz_binance. And all of the rest of you.

It is not yet clear who will respond and what they may be able to do to help, but it looks like CZ is at least interested in McAfee's help:
If I am able to help, then please expect little or no public information releases, at least from me. The first rule of a cyber investigation is silence.

At a time like this it is good to see important members of the community working together and helping each other out. Ultimately if the crypto space is going to grow and evolve the way many proponents hope, it will be important to foster a sense of community and togetherness, not tribalism and negativity.
