He was arrested last Thursday for allegedly creating, advertising, and selling the Kronos banking Trojan. The 23-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and was granted a $30,000 bail Friday. The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Symantec cybersecurity czar Tarah Wheeler have established a site for donating to Hutchins’ legal defense citing the researcher’s right to a fair trial.”]
