What major financial event impacted McAfee's fortunes?

  • The Great Depression

  • The 2008 Financial Crisis

  • The Dot Com Bust

  • The 2020 Pandemic Market Crash

Answer

The 2008 financial crisis impacted McAfee's fortunes because it caused a drop in demand for security software. McAfee's sales fell by 25% in 2009, and the company was forced to lay off 30% of its workforce. The crisis also led to a decline in the value of McAfee's stock, which lost over half of its value in 2008.
