Sounds like more news is on the way. Bruce Schneier had a piece today saying:

"We need to know how exactly how the NSA and other agencies are subverting
routers, switches, the internet backbone, encryption technologies and cloud
systems. I already have five stories from people like you, and I've just
started collecting. I want 50. There's safety in numbers, and this form of
civil disobedience is the moral thing to do."
