The man in the above picture is Marcus Hutchins..He is a 22 years of old blogger and is the one who discovered the “kill switch” for the WannaCry ransomware, which has been giving us a lot of trouble few months back.
Marcus Hutchins was hailed an ‘accidental hero’ after stopping the NHS ransomware attack
Now the question is who is this Marcus Hutchins?
Marcus Hutchins was hailed an accidental hero in May after he managed to intercept the spread of the malicious software which
crippled the NHS among other businesses.
He stopped the unprecedented virus in its tracks in a matter of hours by triggering a “kill switch”.
He is believed to have come up with a solution to the WannaCry ransomware attack from his small bedroom at his parents’ home in Devon.
The blogger said he was “jumping around a room with the excitement” after he discovered that activating a specific web domain could disable the worm, which had
demanded a ransom .
However, in August 3rd, he was arrested in America and charged with creating software that harvested banking details
Till august 3rd he was a hero for slowing down the WannaCry global cyber attack
Hutchins, who goes by the name Malware Tech online, regularly posts on social media about his love for surfing, pizza and Pokemon.
After his arrest,for sometime he tried to supress the matter by keeping mum,but later on he confessed that he had made a trojan virus and sold it which would help the others to steal bank details of public.
He has been granted a bail for a sum of $30000 and with the deal that he would not use any internet interface
Conclusio- Hacking is dangerous even if you are a PRO.
Thank you
