He found a “kill switch’ in the WannaCry malware that was spreading like a plague across the internet. While attempting to understand the malware, he came across a vulnerability, which brought hospitals around England to a standstill. It appeared to be referencing a URL where there wasn’t a website.

Mr Hutchins, helped put a stop to an attack that was spreading all over the world, reaching huge numbers of computers in almost every country.
