Great sadness! The H security site is shutting down!

The H is a computer security and news site out of Germany that I have found quite informative, unfortunately the owners have been unsuccessful in monetizing it and they've decided that it is time to close the doors. They were a pretty good news source, and I'm very sad to see them go.

Here's a list of some of their favorite news stories, including the one that speculated that Skype could be listened to by Microsoft and government agencies long before PRISM was revealed.

That's too bad. A non-US perspective is valuable.

There's quite a few comments suggesting ways to monetize the system, such as a Kickstarter/Indie-Go-Go, paid subscriptions, etc. But I didn't notice any replies from the owners.

Slashdot also covered it and got a lot of reaction, heck, that's where a lot of the comments came from. It seems a lot of people had never heard of it, I can't recall when/where I learned of it and started following it.
