I bent (flexed?) the HN rules a little when I submitted this story. The actual headline in the NY Times is "File Says N.S.A. Found Way to Replace Email Program" but like you I didn't know what to make of it - I guessed someone learned the NSA was putting fake Gmail or Outlook on their targets' devices. So I changed it to "File Says N.S.A. Found Way to Replace Email Surveillance Program".
