Marcus Hutchins, WannaCry-killer, hit with four new charges by the FBI
by Julius Njiraini 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Marcus Hutchins <https://thehackernews.com/2017/08/malwaretech-marcus-hutchins.html>, the British malware analyst who helped stop global Wannacry menace <https://thehackernews.com/2017/05/how-to-wannacry-ransomware.html>, is now facing four new charges related to malware he allegedly created and promoted it online to steal financial information. Hutchins, the 24-year-old better known as MalwareTech, was arrested by the FBI <https://thehackernews.com/2017/08/marcus-hutchins-arrested-fbi.html> last year as he was headed home to England from the DefCon conference in Las Vegas for his alleged role in creating and distributing Kronos between 2014 and 2015. Kronos is a Banking Trojan designed to steal banking credentials and personal information from victims' computers, which was sold for $7,000 on Russian online forums, and the FBI accused Hutchins of writing and promoting it online, including via YouTube. Hutchins pleaded not guilty <https://thehackernews.com/2017/08/malwaretech-marcus-hutchins.html> at a court hearing in August 2017 in Milwaukee and release on $30,000 bail. However, a revised superseding indictment was filed with the Wisconsin Eastern District Court, under which Hutchins faces four new charges along with the six prior counts filed against him by the FBI a month before his arrest. Marcus Accused of Creating and Selling Another Malware According to the new indictment, Hutchins created a second piece of malware, known as "*UPAS Kit*," and also lied to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) when he was arrested and questioned last year in Las Vegas. As described by prosecutors, UPAS Kit is Spybot virus that "allowed for the unauthorized exfiltration of information from protected computers" and "used a form grabber and web injects to intercept and collect personal information," including credit card details. UPAS Kit advertised to "install silently and not alert antivirus engines," for prices ranged above $1,000 back in 2012. According to the indictment, Hutchins created UPAS Kit in 2012, when he was just 18, and sold it online to another unnamed co-defendant identified as "VinnyK" (aka Aurora123), who was also involved in promoting Kronos. VinnyK then sold UPAS Kit to another person in Wisconsin in 2012, who allegedly used the malware to attack computers in the United States. Two other charges relate to Hutchins "aiding and abetting" the distribution of invasive code in an attempt to damage "10 or more protected computers," and helping others to hack computers for financial gain. Marcus Appealed to his Followers for Donations to Cover Legal Costs As the news on the revised indictment broke, Hutchins, who has repeatedly denied any illegal activity, called the charges "bullshit" and appealed to his Twitter followers for donations to cover legal costs. "Spend months and $100k+ fighting this case, then they go and reset the clock by adding even more bullshit charges like 'lying to the FBI,'" Hutchins wrote <https://twitter.com/MalwareTechBlog/status/1004420585869332480?ref_src=twsr…> on his Twitter, calling for donations by adding a quote from Starcraft video game: "We require more minerals." Hutchins' lawyer Brian Klein called the charges "meritless" and said he expects his client to be cleared of all charges. "[We] are disappointed the govt has filed this superseding indictment, which is meritless," Klein tweeted. "It only serves to highlight the prosecution's serious flaws. We expect [Hutchins] to be vindicated and then he can return to keeping us all safe from malicious software." Hutchins, who is living in Los Angeles on bail, is unable to leave the United States since last year due to his pending criminal charges. Hutchins stormed to fame and hailed as a hero earlier last year when he accidentally stopped <https://thehackernews.com/2017/05/wannacry-ransomware-cyber-attack.html> a global epidemic of the WannaCry ransomware attack <https://thehackernews.com/2017/05/wannacry-ransomware-unlock.html> that crippled computers all across the world.

Fwd: 2018 Global Internet Report – Give us your input!
by Barrack Otieno 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

For members of Internet Society on the list. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Internet Society <mailer(a)comms.isoc.org> Date: Thu, Jun 7, 2018 at 10:03 PM Subject: 2018 Global Internet Report – Give us your input! To: Barrack Otieno <otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com> Take the survey | View Online <http://link.isoc.org/p/vT31DK6uSN> [image: Internet Society] <#m_-3452545686599154990_> 2018 Global Internet Report How consolidation may impact the Future of the Internet Dear Members, Last year, the Internet Society published a comprehensive study to better understand the forces of change that will shape the Internet over the next five to seven years: *The 2017 Global Internet Report: Paths to Our Digital Future <http://link.isoc.org/ct/95739526:T31DK6uSN:m:1:2924843069:FE0C29F847C46DB98…>*. By focusing attention on the significant potential of the Internet for innovation and sustainable development, but without denying or shirking the challenges it also introduces, the 2017 report has become a powerful tool in the global awareness and advocacy work of the Internet Society and its chapters. We now want to work with you as our most important stakeholders on a new report that takes a closer look at one of those forces and how it may impact the future, namely* Consolidation in the Internet Economy <http://link.isoc.org/ct/95739527:T31DK6uSN:m:1:2924843069:FE0C29F847C46DB98…>*. Understood as growing forces of concentration, vertical and horizontal integration, and fewer opportunities for market entry and competition, this topic includes the impact of consolidating forces on all stakeholders as well as on the Internet’s underlying and evolving technology. We have selected this theme because findings from last year’s report, and developments since its release, indicated increasing concerns about a growing concentration of power in the Internet Economy. They point to market and technical forces that may be driving consolidation at different ‘layers’ of the Internet, from traffic to communications providers to applications, as well as processes of vertical integration that allows for some companies to own the user experience at every stage and in an increasingly wide range of human activity. As users experience the Internet through a smaller number of providers, for example, there is the potential to restrict our access, choice and future ability to innovate. On the other hand, consolidation is not a new phenomena, but can be expected as markets and industries mature. To some, it is an evolution foremost characterized by lower prices and better services available to more people. *Today we are launching a survey in **English* <http://link.isoc.org/ct/95739528:T31DK6uSN:m:1:2924843069:FE0C29F847C46DB98…>*, **French* <http://link.isoc.org/ct/95739529:T31DK6uSN:m:1:2924843069:FE0C29F847C46DB98…>* and **Spanish* <http://link.isoc.org/ct/95739530:T31DK6uSN:m:1:2924843069:FE0C29F847C46DB98…>* seeking your input on this perceived trend of consolidation.* Tell us your perspective; how it might be affecting you and your community, and what you foresee for the future of the Internet in the next five years. Take the survey! <http://link.isoc.org/ct/95739528:T31DK6uSN:m:1:2924843069:FE0C29F847C46DB98…> Best regards, Constance Bommelaer de Leusse Senior Director, Global Internet Policy and International Organizations Internet Society <#m_-3452545686599154990_> Don't miss a thing.
