The British security researcher stopped the WannaCry ransomware from spreading further with a brilliant albeit accidental trick -- he bought an unregistered domain linked to the malware, thus inadvertently activating a "kill switch."

Since he revealed how he accidentally stopped a global cyber attack, MalwareTech has been doxxed by the British tabloids.
On his Twitter page and blog, there are no names, details, or head shots, which should be a clear indication that he wished to remain anonymous.

This resulted in constant harassment:
