http://www.businessinsider.com/marcus-hutchins-is-the-22-year-old-who-saved-the-world-from-a-malware-virus-2017-5The 22-year-old who slowed down the spread from a malware virus has been named as Marcus Hutchins. Hutchins, a British cybersecurity researcher, has been credited with stopping the WannaCry ransomware attack's spread from a small bedroom in his parent's house. The Telegraph reports that he lives in a seaside resort on the north Devon coast.
Photos emerged on Sunday night of Hutchins's self-assembled IT hub, which consists of computer servers, at least three monitors, and video games. Other images reportedly show the self-taught coder at DefCon in Las Vegas, which is a renowned conference for the hacking community.
