Brett Johnson - Cybercrime and How to Protect Yourself

Brett Johnson holds the distinction of being the only guest on the podcast who has ever been on the U.S. Most Wanted List.  He was convicted of 39 felonies, sentenced to more than 7 years in prison, escaped and built the first cybercrime community known as Shadowcrew, a precursor to today's dark web.  The United States Secret Service called him "The Original Internet Godfather." Brett found redemption and is today one of the leading authorities on cybercrime, identity theft, and cybersecurity on the planet. He works to protect us, as he likes to say, from the person he used to be. Brett discusses his criminal past and how and why he now works to protect us.  Brett and I discuss online crimes and scams and how to protect yourself.  This is one podcast you literally cannot afford to miss.
