  The Bloomberg articles are definitely the closest I've seen coming to substantive evidence, that is for sure. I do, however, think that there is a big difference between being "affiliated with Russian intelligence" and providing an anti-DDOS service to the FSB, which is what this article is discussing, and really all it gives evidence for. Kapersky also provided services to the US intelligence services, I don't think it would be described as "affiliated with American intelligence."

    Have you ever been in a wildly corrupt and centralised country? That frame of reference changes everything about what you just said - ie there are no “FSB contractors” that could possibly be independent under an authoritarian frame of reference.
