Biography

TL;DR Version

YTCracker (pronounced "whitey cracker") is a formerly notorious computer hacker who stopped hacking everyone's gibson and started rapping about it instead. Recognized as a forefather of the "nerdcore" genre, he has travelled all around the universe amassing billions of fans, the majority of which do not live on planet earth.
YTCracker raps about all of the important things in life, like high frame rate and low latency pings. He has served as a corporate shill for the likes of G4TV (rip), Facebook, and Yahoo, appearing on every major television network and countless publications talking about nerdy things like Bitcoin or DDoS attacks - all while trying to push his terrible music on casuals and NPCs everywhere.

Along with making substandard hiphop, YTCracker also subsists his musical existence through mediocre production and DJing to gigantic crowds, primarily on the anime and internet nerd convention circuit.

Bryce Case, Jr. (b. August 23, 1982), otherwise known as YTCracker (pronounced "whitey cracker"), is a rapper, former cracker, and Internet entrepreneur. YTCracker began producing rap music in 1998 in the genre that has since become known as nerdcore hip hop.

In 1999, Bryce gained notoriety for defacing the web site of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (wired, cnn) along with other government and commercial websites (a partial list can be found here), including servers maintained by the FAA, the DCAA, NATO, the Colorado Springs Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Honda, Nissan, and AT&T.

These happenings launched him into the media spotlight, making him a resource for the media commenting on other hacking-related events, such as the denial of service attacks on Yahoo, eBay.com, and other well-known websites in 2000. He also divulged the technical information regarding the AOL customer account breaches the same year (cnet, internetnews).

YTCracker also owns the board digitalgangster.com, a very large and active web board (36k members, 2mil/wk pageviews and growing) which also has within its ranks many former and current hackers. The members from this board are responsible for the Paris Hilton T-Mobile breach of 2005, the Tom and Tila Tequila Myspace breaches of 2007, the Amor Hilton extortion plot, the Miley Cyrus hacked email scandal of 2008 (aol, foxnews), and the twitter hack of Barack Obama and others of 2009 (pc world, slashdot, cnn, foxnews).

He also has been labeled a “spam king” by prolific author Brian McWilliams and has admitted to drawing income from spamming in the past.
