News roundup: Why was one hacker arrested after Def Con?
 
After a period of relative quiet, WannaCry is back in the news. Firstly, whoever was behind the attack has finally emptied the Bitcoin wallet its victims were paying into. The recent Bitcoin fork –may have had something to do with it. The fork means the culprits gained around an extra $15,600 without actually doing anything.
 
Secondly, Marcus Hutchins – aka Malware Tech, aka the man who accidently prevented WannaCry from spreading further – has been arrested by the FBI, accused of developing the Kronos malware; a Trojan attack which targeted banks. Hutchins could face imprisonment for up to 40 years if found guilty.
