Reporters dox WannaCry ransomware kill switch guy

British tabloids dox the guy who discovered the first WannaCry ransomware kill switch and thereby stopped thousands of old Windows machines from becoming infected. The Telegraph published his name, photos, where he lives, what his parents do, that he has a sibling and that he likes pizza. Other publications tried to worm their way into a story by approaching his friends.
