The guy known as MalwareTech is sure getting a lot of attention, very suddenly.
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."
SEE ALSO:WannaCry ransomware attack possibly linked to North KoreaFor his endeavour, he was awarded a $10,000 bounty by HackerOne, a network of ethical hackers and bug bounty programs.

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.
However, British tabloids outed him as 22-year-old Marcus Hutchins, who works for Los Angeles-based Kryptos Logic. They scouted around the depths of the internet to find his online footprint.
This resulted in constant harassment:
