Title is inaccurate - the important part at the end was cut off: "- Ex-employees" Accusation is presented as fact. This would be a better title: "Russian antivirus firm faked malware to harm rivals - say ex-employees"

"disgruntled ex-employees"

  Snowden was a "disgruntled ex-employee". Sometimes there are good reasons to leave a company.

    Snowden had proof. Here I don't see anything of substance.

    Yes, but that doesn't mean this information isn't relevant when considering how to interpret the claims. Especially in the absence of actual evidence.

Even better would be: "Ex-employees from Kaspersky Labs say the firm faked malware to harm rivals." If these claims have any truth to them at all, then it is completely irrelevant that Kaspersky is a Russian firm.
