Can malware, in a sandbox, send information from your PC to the malware author's PC?

-No, That's the idea of a sand box. Once it's in the sand box it can't execute because it's a virtual copy of your running system. It's trapped. Dump the sand box. It's like nothing ever happened. Simply put, Mal ware cannot execute on a virtual copy. Which is what a sand box program does. It makes a virtual copy of your running system. When the malware try's to attach its self it can't. It's kinda like you trying to grab a ghost. It ain't gonna happen.No, That's the idea of a sand box. Once it's in the sand box it can't execute because it's a virtual copy of your running system.
