The Claim

Fabian Wosar opened a dedicated Jabber account to receive anonymous reports from disgruntled power users about performance bottlenecks.

The Short Version

The claim is not supported by the evidence. Reporting about a dedicated Jabber account describes anonymous contact from disgruntled cybercriminals or ransomware affiliates about operational or payment disputes, not from power users about performance bottlenecks. Wosar’s own public references to Jabber present it as a general contact method, not a dedicated performance-reporting channel.

Caveats

  • The claim changes the group involved: cybercriminal contacts are not the same as power users.
  • The claim changes the purpose: ransomware-payment or operational complaints are not performance bottleneck reports.
  • Public Emsisoft and Wosar materials do not show any dedicated Jabber account created specifically for anonymous software performance reports.
