Back in 2017, the genius sole programmer and creator of the TempleOS and Internet Personality Terry Davis claimed that CIA or FBI agents are persecuting him, referring them as Glow-in-the-Dark. He died about a year later. While Terry Davis was known to be a nutcase, it was later discovered that federal agents ARE investigating him and that it was possible that Davis's death was no accident nor suicide.
Partially as a tribute to the departed computer genius and partially because it would be funny, 4chan adopted the nickname and it stuck ever since.
