The article is incredibly vague and they say the data is incredibly sparse. My sense is that they should release the data if they want to make a claim as they are. It could just as easily be a software vendor in Russia.
Consider if the company used Kaspersky anti virus, for example. You would see very rare transmissions (checking for virus updates). They could restrict their firewall to only allow IP's for the antivirus. And it would show connections to Russia (where Kaspersky is located). And you could easily construct the narrative found in the linked article.
Now I'm mot saying it was Kaspersky, I'm saying that this example would produce the same fact pattern as the one in the linked article, so we can't assume that the fact pattern implies what they're implying.

It could have been done by some Trump employee checking his bank balance, but what's unusual is that no one else seemed to be using it and it never sent traffic anywhere else but that Russian bank.
