    #85 Bryce Case Jr. AKA YTCracker - Anonymous Hacker

    Bryce Case Jr., aka YTCracker, is a hacker and musician. Bryce has been called "The Original Digital Gangster" for his early adoption and manipulation of all things online. Ryan Montgomery, a fan favorite on SRS, calls Bryce his mentor.
    In this special Holiday release, we cover Bryce's life story starting with his early exploits when the internet was just coming into itself. We discuss his aptitude for clever digital marketing and finding money-making opportunities in every corner of America Online.
    Bryce made a name for himself in the hacking community by digitally defacing government websites like NASA and propping up coalitions of hackers across the web. A "Black Hat" now turned "White Hat," Bryce Case Jr. has repurposed his unscrupulous skill-set into a leading force for cybersecurity, working with some of the largest tech companies in the world.

What an excellent podcast !!

I look forward to Shawn Ryan’s podcast every week. Shawn has a lot of integrity and his guests are interesting to listen to. The stories are not always for the faint of heart but this podcast platform has given these guests a voice for the world to hear. I have never written a review for any podcast I have listened to and I have been listening to podcasts since 2010. I wish Shawn and his team nothing but success in this endeavor!
