How was the WannaCry virus stopped?

The Spread: Spread to host computer through exploits in network infrastructure (since patched). Hold Drive Hostage: Encrypt the user's entire drive, display a message to pay up for the encryption key. Repeat. So a cyber security analyst who was digging through code the worm uses to spread realized something. There was a website url that is referenced in a few places. He tried to go to the website, but found it didn't exist. So he bought the domain for $10 from a site like godaddy.com and forwarded it to a sinkhole server where it couldn't do damage. Once he set this up, almost immediately he was getting thousands of connections a second. What happened? The code he edited basically (over simplified) said: Try and connect to the website: qwhnamownflslwff.co If the website doesn't exist, keep on spreading. If the website exists, halt spreading of the malware. It was essentially a kill-switch programmed in he accidentally stumbled upon.
