Date: May 16, 2025
I, Johnny Watts, also known as Kaotick Jay in professional cybersecurity circles and DJ Kaotick Jay in music and artistic communities, am making this statement to clearly define the boundaries of my personal brand, online identity, and professional representation.
✅ Authorized Names / Handles
The following identifiers are official and used by me across various domains, including cybersecurity, digital publishing, red team engagements, musical forums, and professional networking:
KaotickJ (preferred short username/screenname)
Kaotick Jay (preferred professional alias used for authorship and public engagements)
DJ Kaotick Jay (used in music and creative arts communities)
These aliases may appear on content I have authored, music I have produced, social platforms I use, or professional accounts I maintain. All uses are within my full authorization.
❌ Unauthorized and Impersonated Variants
Any name or handle beginning with the string:
"kaotic" (with a "c") rather than "kaotick" (with a "k")

Examples include (but are not limited to):

kaotic_j
djkaoticjay
Any similar spelling variation attempting to resemble KaotickJ or DJ Kaotick Jay
If you encounter such names misrepresenting themselves as me, I ask that you report them immediately to the platform in question. Impersonation of a cybersecurity professional or DJ with a recognized digital and authorial footprint can have legal ramifications, especially if misleading, defamatory, or abusive behavior is involved.

This statement may be used:
As a reference in verifying my online or professional identity
To dispute false claims or impersonation
In DMCA takedown notices, platform reports, and cease-and-desist demands
