It's highly doubtful that's some random person will send some security vulnerabilities about a company to another unrelated company. It's more probable that NordVPN had its own team trying to hack or at least test Torguard defenses. That makes the DDoS allegations more believable.

When I had a small web-crawling/automation business we'd get quite few emails like that oferring all sorts of datasets and security holes for sale. We never responded (people already have a hate boner for web-crawlers lol). Maybe someone with more gray/black hat infosec knowledge could comment on plausability on this but honestly I wouldn't underestimate black hat sales skills :)
