ZDNet Blogger Dancho Danchev has been missing in since August. The security writer disappeared mysteriously in his native Bulgaria. Some information about his disappearance has surfaced, and fellow Zero Watch blogger Ryan Naraine fittingly refers to it as “troubling.”

The company has reportedly made several failed attempts to contact Danchev, who wrote his last post for the blog on August 18. A source in Bulgaria wrote ZDNet last month to report that “Dancho’s alive but he’s in a lot of trouble.”

Danchev, for his part, wrote the aforementioned “troubling” letter to a fellow member of the security community,

As I consider you as a trusted colleague, and someone who understands the big picture of cyber crime and cyber espionage, I’m attaching you photos of the “current situation in my bathroom”, courtesy of Bulgarian Law enforcement+intell services who’ve been building a case trying to damage my reputation.

The letter includes images of what may be a monitoring device installed in his home. Zero Day is asking for any information anyone might have on Danchev’s disappearance.
