Security Researcher Goes Missing After Investigating Bangladesh Bank Cyber-Heist

An anonymous reader writes: Tanvir Hassan Zoha, 34, security researcher, has gone missing just days after accusing Bangladesh's central bank officials of negligence, which facilitated the theft of over $81 million from the country's oversea accounts (hackers tried to steal $1 billion, but a typo stopped them). Zoha was apparently kidnapped this Wednesday after a jeep pulled over in front of his rickshaw. The friend that was with him was released hours later unharmed. When trying to contact police, family members were re-routed between police stations, and eventually gave up, contacting the media.
