US feds would not book him for a UK crime this small I'm sure


idk his history but there's a good chance he was involved in malware in less whitehat ways before he got famous and I wouldnt be surprised if an opsec mistake led him to being busted for something he did as a naughty young lad

there's no evidence in the indictment to work with beyond step 1: "he made it"

iirc those prices are below the initial prices for Kronos. I wonder if he was reselling it or pirated it

Yeah, if I make malware and gave it away, and someone later incorporates it to do harm, am I liable?

e: they're indicting a co-conspirator who is is being accused of everything else other than making it? I hate breaking-news-via-twitter

yes, I'm assuming that guy is from Wisconsin or else this case is going to be eventually dismissed like the weev thing

they say that Hutchins created it and then later updated it, then this other guy sold it
