The mystery surrounding noted security researcher and blogger Dancho 
Danchev continued on Monday, after reports from Bulgaria suggested that 
Danchev may be confined to a hospital in the country.

The unconfirmed report comes by way of Dnevnik.org, a Bulgarian online 
publication, which cites two unnamed sources as confirming that Danchev 
has been hospitalized since December 11, 2010. Danchev is now 
"stabalized and will soon be discharged," Dnevnik reports. The report 
did not say why Danchev had been hospitalized.

Threatpost reported on Friday that Danchev, a frequent blogger on 
computer security for ZDNet.com's Zero Day blog, has been missing since 
early September. Regular posts to his personal blog and Zero Day ceased. 
During that time, he has been offline and unreachable by phone or 
e-mail, though he appears to have been using Twitter through late 
October.

In recent days, disturbing e-mail messages have surfaced that suggested 
Danchev might have run afoul of law enforcement or intelligence services 
in Bulgaria, including an insurance e-mail Danchev mailed to friends 
that claimed he was being set up by the police for his "pro Western" 
views.
