US Piles New Charges on Marcus Hutchins (aka MalwareTech)

Marcus Hutchins accused of creating another piece of malware and lying to FBI. Security researcher known as MalwareTech stopped the WannaCry ransomware outbreak last year. Hutchins’ lawyers say the new charges are meritless and a last-ditch attempt to prolong the case. Legal experts say the charges are heading towards a dismissal, and Hutchins jokes about the charges and asks followers for donations for mounting legal fees. The security researcher pleaded not guilty last year to creating and selling the Kronos banking trojan.
