He was born in Chicago and pursued professional skateboarding before breaking his leg. Specters is deeply entrenched in the world of hacking and cybersecurity, specializing in car hacking and malware analysis. His journey into hacking began as a means to achieve stability and financial security during a tumultuous time in his life.
