Strict bail conditions have been set for the Devon cyber security expert arrested in America, accused of creating and selling malware that steals banking passwords.
Twenty-three-year-old Marcus Hutchins, from Ilfracombe, was held in Nevada Southern Detention Centre over the weekend after being arrested in Las Vegas last week.
He is due to appear in court in Milwaukee on Tuesday, charged with six counts of creating and selling a malware known as Kronos in 2014 and 2015. His lawyer said they would fight the case.
While on $30,000 (£23,000) bail, Mr Hutchins, who works for Los Angeles computer security firm Kryptos Logic, has been told he can have no access to the internet, must surrender his passport and be monitored by GPS.
He was previously praised for finding a "kill-switch" that curbed the WannaCry ransomware that infected more than 300,000 computers in 150 countries in May. The malicious software demanded a ransom from users so they could regain control of their machines.

Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies has said that viewers of sport should be made aware if athletes have served bans for doping.
Speaking to BBC Radio Devon about the World Athletics Championships 2017, she said: "We need to show our disgust at everybody that's there who has served the ban."
She said it should be mentioned on the programme, on the scoreboard or the athletes who have served the ban should have their names in red.
She added: "If they announce one of their successes then they announce the fact they've also served the ban."

Emergency services were not called for more than three hours after a one-month-old baby was dropped by his father and suffered fatal head injuries, an inquest heard.
Cooper Johnson-Hicks died from the injuries sustained in St Blazey, Cornwall on 26 June 2016.
His father, Tristan Hicks, took his own life on 23 July 2016 after being questioned by police about the death.
Image source, Family HandoutAfter attempts at resuscitation by neighbours, Cooper was taken to hospital by paramedics where he died from serious head injuries, the hearing in Truro was told.
His grandmother, Petra Hicks, gave evidence detailing how Mr Hicks had not told anybody about the incident until they were at the Royal Cornwall Hospital several hours later.
When coroner Dr Emma Carlyon asked why Mr Hicks, who had aspergers syndrome, failed to tell anyone, she said: "He was frightened. Frightened of police, social services."
The hearing heard how Cooper was under a child protection plan due to previous loud arguments that had been reported to police.
Cornwall Council is carrying out a review into what happened.
The inquest, which is scheduled to last for three days, continues.

In parts of the county, about 50% of the housing isn't permanently lived in, and some argue it's destroying communities.
Labour Party campaigners want local authorities to have the power to charge extra council tax and use the money to build social housing.
They said they wanted the county's six Conservative MPs to put pressure on the government.

The British cyber security expert accused of creating and selling malware that steals banking passwords has been released from a US prison, the jail has said.
Marcus Hutchins, the 23-year-old previously hailed a hero for derailing the WannaCry global computer attack that wreaked havoc in the NHS, was held in Nevada Southern Detention Centre over the weekend.
Prison spokeswoman Kayla Gieni said he was "no longer at our facility" on Monday but was unable to say whether he had been released on bail as a judge had ordered on Friday.
Hutchins, of Ilfracombe, Devon, is due to appear in court in Milwaukee on Tuesday, charged with six counts of creating and selling a malware known as Kronos.
His lawyer, Adrian Lobo, said they would fight the case and Hutchins would enter not guilty pleas to all the counts, which date between July 2014 and July 2015.
