Authorities arrested the 23-year-old man on Aug. 2 at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, where he was going to board a flight to his home in Ilfracombe, England. He had been in Las Vegas for a cybersecurity convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hutchins\u2019 attorney, Marcia Hoffman, said after Monday\u2019s brief hearing that Hutchins will fight the charges and that \u201cwhen the evidence comes to light, we are confident he will be fully vindicated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMarcus Hutchins is a brilliant young man and a hero,\u201d Hoffman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hutchins left afterward in a white SUV with tinted windows and did not talk to reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is free on $30,000 bail, but with strict conditions. His bond has been modified so that he can stay in Los Angeles near his attorney and travel anywhere in the U.S., but he cannot leave the country. He was also granted access to use a computer for work, a change from an earlier judge\u2019s order barring him from using any device with access to the internet. Hutchins\u2019 current work wasn\u2019t detailed at Monday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next hearing in the case was set for Oct. 17, with an Oct. 23 trial date, though the latter was expected to change due to the case\u2019s complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal troubles Hutchins faces are a dramatic turnaround from the status of&nbsp;<a>cybercrime-fighting hero<\/a>&nbsp;he enjoyed four months ago when he found a \u201ckill switch\u201d to slow the outbreak of the WannaCry virus. It crippled computers worldwide, encrypting files and making them inaccessible unless people paid a ransom ranging from $300 to $600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors allege that before Hutchins won acclaim he created and distributed a malicious software called Kronos to steal banking passwords from unsuspecting computer users. In addition to computer fraud, the indictment lists five other charges, including attempting to intercept electronic communications and trying to access a computer without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The indictment says the crimes happened between July 2014 and July 2015, but the court document doesn\u2019t offer any details about the number of victims. Prosecutors have not said why the case was filed in Wisconsin. The name of Hutchins\u2019 co-defendant is redacted from the indictment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hutchins faces decades in prison if convicted on all the charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A British cybersecurity researcher credited with helping curb a recent worldwide ransomware attack pleaded not guilty Monday to federal
