This morning #SandboxEscaper published a new 0day. For few weeks, I have a weird feeling about his story. After this comment, @SecGoblin sent me a private message to threaten me 🤔
"Be careful with this guy. Paul..." I guess it's you @barton_paul.
"Regarding the 0day, that you are suspicious, if I understand correctly"
Me: "Why I shouldn't be suspicious? Why are you saying that?"
Him: "I say that I say nothing ;)"
Me: "I don't understand. There is a goal behind. [..]"
Him: "No nothing... sorry... I'm tired"
Me: "You know more than what you say"
Him: "You have a chance to get into trouble"
Me: "What kind of issue?"
Him: "I'm busy... sorry..."

At this point his answers are very weird. He tried to escape the conversation. His goal was to threaten me the only issue is I don't buy threat for free. So I asked to justify his threat
Me: "Why this message"
Him: "It's because I think you'll get into trouble because of the ff"
Me: "Do you know sandboxescaper"
Him: "You might have problems"
Me: "Because of the ff?"
Him: "I want to be nice"
Me: "What does that mean?"
Him: "Yes...of sandbox. Nothing forget..sorry"
Wtf the ff is supposed to be?
After that he stopped to answer and didn't justify his threat. I blocked him and he published this tweet.

"This is the country...I don't have other solutions to this kind of thing... It's like this... We cannot have peace and an investigation... It may cost you dearly"
Few thoughts:
- The account of SandboxEscaper has been banned. She is looking the news article about her and the effects of his publications. She definitively has another Twitter account
- As I said, I might be totally wrong but this story is weird
- Is @SecGoblin a total troll or is there a relation between this account and SandboxEscaper?
- I made my homework and I know the situation. I'm not judging her as a person, I'm just finding the story inconsistent.
I'm totally asking to be wrong on this one. I'm maybe be too suspicious but:
- infosec is a village. Talented people like her is very rare
- Who met sandboxescaper in real life?
- Did you ever discuss with her?
- When you receive a lot of attention, and I know what I'm talking about, you are receiving a lot of propositions. You meet a lot of infosec people. Why nobody know her?
I don't ask to believe you, I'm asking for proof. So don't hesitate to show me that I'm too paranoiac on this one 😁
Bye bye @SecGoblin. He desactivated his account.
