The two things I got from this story: - If anyone of us, that didn't work for Google, had cracked into a sever that breached our servers and just looked around, not destroying data. Wouldn't that be illegal? - The NSA is getting access to software and hardware back doors before the public is made aware so they can try and catch Chinese hackers. Doesn't this also give them the access they would need to route all our traffic to their giant datacenter and mine it? Aren't the 'Chinese' hackers giving them a convenient excuse?
