Is this one of these stealth advertisements where cyber security companies teach you how to operate better malware under the pretense of warning the public?

Key takeaways from the article: Prospero is a Russian hoster trusted by top cybercrime groups. Especially popular is their bearhost brand, which provides great service since 2019 and openly invites you to operate botnets, brute-force attacks or phishing websites on their hosting service.

Kaspersky by contrast is barely mentioned in the original portion of the article, it's only the later updates that go into detail here

Edit: maybe stealth advertisement isn't quite the right word. I'm not implying monetary compensation or any business relation, only that better malware provides job security for the cyber security sector
