The Original Internet Godfather: From FBI’s Most Wanted to Leading Security Expert – Brett Johnson

Online crime often succeeds because of failure across a variety of systems and as technology changes, cybersecurity becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain. Those that are committing online crime usually operate open source and somewhat freely exchange information. The result is a criminal community that is more educated and much quicker than the “good guys.” 

Today’s guest, Brett Johnson, ran the first organized cybercrime community, Shadowcrew, but after finding himself on the United States Most Wanted List, he’s turned from bad guy to good guy. His background as the first Internet Godfather and current status as a leading security professional give Brett a unique insight and understanding of cybersecurity unavailable anywhere else. 

Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki are joined by cybercrime expert, Brett Johnson and VP of Operations at Rich Dad, Robb LeCount to discuss the latest trends in cybercrimes and what you can do to protect yourself from online security attacks.
