Court documents filed Wednesday in the trial of British security expert and accused malware writer Marcus Hutchins have outlined the very limited evidence the US government is willing to throw at the case.

Hutchins came into the limelight after crippling the WannaCry ransomware attack earlier this year. He came over to the US from the UK for the DEF CON security conference season last month, and while waiting to fly back to Blighty was arrested by the FBI, with the British authorities looking the other way. The 23-year-old was charged with coding and selling the Kronos banking malware, which is still in circulation today.
