Bulgarian IT Security Consultant Found in Mental Hospital - Report
Bulgarian IT security consultant Dancho Danchev.
Dancho Danchev, an independent security consultant, has been reportedly found in a Bulgarian psychiatric institution.
According to the Bulgarian Dnevnik daily, Danchev has been in the psychiatric institution since December 11 2010.
On January 14 2011, the Wired magazine alarmed that Danchev, who writes for ZDNet's Zero Day blog, has disappeared since September 2010, when when he "
sent a mysterious letter to a friend in the malware-research community revealing concerns that his apartment was being bugged by Bulgarian law enforcement and intelligence services."
The Bulgarian expert has been neither seen or heard by his international colleagues ever since September 11 2010, when he last wrote in his blog.
"
Last month, we finally got a mysterious message from a local source in Bulgaria that 'Dancho's alive but he's in a lot of trouble,'"
Ryan Naraine, a fellow ZDNet blogger, states before Wired.
His last blog entry was a compilation of his research into the cyberjihad activity of terrorist groups. He was also particularly focused on monitoring the group believed to be behind the Koobface worm, which targets users of Facebook and other social networking sites.
