The guy known as MalwareTech is sure getting a lot of attention, very suddenly.
The British security researcher stopped the WannaCry ransomware from spreading further with a brilliant albeit accidental trick -- he bought an unregistered domain linked to the malware, thus inadvertently activating a "kill switch."
