Mind sharing those?

A claim unsupported by evidence.

Anyway I wouldn't bother to reply to your post, if you hadn't had used source that is full of shit, pardon my French. You can check out Kaspersky's blog for rebuttal of this article. Now if you insist on inductive reasoning I can offer you no evidence to the contrary, of course. And no, I don't work for Russian troll agency and am not Russian in any way. I doubt they would bother with ycombinator anyway. In no way this is attack on you of course, but I find these kind of posts severely annoying because of aforementioned reasons.
