Bryce Case Jr., otherwise known as YTCracker, is an American rapper from La Mirada, Calif., according to Wikipedia. His stage name derives from having formerly been a black hat hacker.
Case is best known for his contributions to the hacking community along with nerdcore hip hop subculture. During his criminal career, he became known for defacing the webpages of several federal and municipal government websites in the U.S. in the late 1990’s, as well as several in the private industry at the age of 17.
Case performs as an MC and a DJ under the name YTCracker and he runs an independent record label, Nerdy South Records. In a newly released video YTCracker tells Cybercrime Magazine that computer security is his first and last love.
