Brett Johnson, formerly listed as the United States Most Wanted and acknowledged by the United States Secret Service as the "Original Internet Godfather," has been prominently featured in Kevin Poulsen's book "Kingpin" and has made appearances across various media platforms, including the New York Times, NBC, CNN Money, Wired Magazine, Vice, RT TV, ArsTechnica, The Independent, and more. Currently, he is showcased in Netflix's "Web of Make Believe: Death, Lies, and the Internet."
A key figure in the cybercrime world for over two decades, Mr. Johnson played a pivotal role in the formation of ShadowCrew, a precursor to contemporary darknet markets. He contributed significantly to the development of various aspects of online fraud, playing a role in shaping and refining modern Identity Theft, Account TakeOver Fraud, Card Not Present Fraud, IRS Tax Fraud, and numerous other social engineering attacks, breaches, and hacking operations.
After his apprehension, the United States Secret Service enlisted Mr. Brett Johnson as a consultant and informant. Johnson collaborated with the Secret Service for several months before embarking on a nationwide crime spree. This led to his placement on the US Most Wanted List, subsequent capture, imprisonment, escape, another capture, and ultimately accepting responsibility for his actions.
