It's speculative in the sense that we weren't there, but the information comes from the same source as all of those facts.
It refers to a "person familiar with the case" when they explain how an NSA guy exposed his malware to Kaspersky.
It refers to different sources which discuss how any malware might have made its way from Kaspersky to the NSA -- unnamed "information security analysts" (they think the KGB hacked Kaspersky), "other experts" (they say the Russian's version of PRISM picked it up) and Steven Hall, a former spook with no disclosed ties to the case (he says Kaspersky is "likely to be beholden to the Kremlin").
To get things done you can not do at the office or you just lack the office time to get it done.
There was a person on the docker team, who had dockerized every other applications like chrome, firefox, ALSA sound server, and more. But even she found it hard to sandbox everything.
I'm using docker as a leading sandboxing tech. Do you mean something else when you mean sandbox?
I somehow missed to see that anybody but you claims that, so please give some link. I also, like the parent poster, only read that the antvirus program, as it should, collected the virus to the company servers.

>The hackers appear to have targeted the contractor after identifying the files through the contractor’s use of a popular antivirus software made by Russia-based Kaspersky Lab, these people said.
No mention of FSB in that article.
"Investigators did determine that, armed with the knowledge that Kaspersky’s software provided of what files were suspected on the contractor’s PC, hackers working for Russia homed in on the machine and obtained a large amount of information, said the people familiar with the matter."
But that sounds very implausible, which entry would "the hackers" use? Note that nobody claims that Kaspersky did that "obtaining" that way (by hacking). But it appears to me that Kaspersky software simply first detected suspicious files and then also send them to the servers, which is what the software of most antivirus vendors does. And then the "hackers" story was invented to make it more dramatic. That better fits with the story of the NSA trojan files found on Kaspersky servers by the Israeli, as they hacked Kaspersky.
