Hacker and information security specialist Marcus Hutchins (Marcus Hutchins), known by the nickname Malware Tech, was forced to flee the house after the journalists revealed his personal data and place of residence. He said this on his Twitter.

"One of the largest editions in Britain has published a photo of my house, full address and instructions on how to get there.. Now we have to move, "- said Hutchins. He also lamented the fact that "tabloids are not interested in history itself, but in the people behind it".

"I knew that five minutes of glory would be terrible. But I could not imagine how much. British tabloids are very intrusive, "he summed up and asked subscribers to recommend a good realtor.



Hutchins became famous for the fact that along with a Proofpoint employee Darien Huss stopped the spread of the extortion virus WannaCry by detecting an unregistered domain name wired in the code of the malicious program and buying it for $ 11.

After that, The Telegraph found out that it was Hutchins who leads the profile of Malware Tech. Journalists also reported that a 22-year-old self-taught hacker lives in Devon County and told about his family.
