The Strange Disappearance of Dancho Danchev
rudy_wayne writes "ZDNet is reporting that Zero Day blogger and malware researcher Dancho Danchev has gone missing since August of last year. Dancho, who was relentless in his pursuit of cyber-criminals, last blogged here on August 18. His personal blog has not been updated since September 11, 2010. 'At ZDNet, we made multiple attempts to contact him, to no avail. Telephone numbers are going to Bulgarian language voicemails and our attempts to reach him via a snail mail address also came up empty. Just recently, a trusted member of the malware research community reached out to us to say he had received a troubling letter from Dancho on September 9, 2010, about the threat of persecution in Bulgaria.'"
Everyone knows that disappearances only matter if the subject is an attractive, young, blond, female. Preferably from at least an upper middle class background.
Speaking of tin foil hats, let me point out that his last post was on the 9th anniversary of 9/11. Coincidence, gentlemen? I think not. For me personally, the scariest thing is seeing my /. nick subtly hidden in my very own post.

Clearly you've never visited the city of New Orleans or the state of Illinois.
We here in the US don't claim them anymore. New Orleans is now part of Hatti, and most of Illinois is a micronation.
This is slashdot, they tell the same scary stories about he US, UK and recently even Sweden.
Ah, yes, Sweden, where shoplifting is referred to as "rape of inventory," wire fraud is defined as "rape of database," armed robbers are charged with "rape of wallet," and jaywalking is known as "rape of traffic."
And you can be arrested for being a dickhead unless you wear a condom as a hat.
Geeks are so full of shit that "beating the crap out of them" takes a whole new meaning.
