Hacking Is NSA's 'Growth Area,' Times Says In Agency Profile - CNET

[WillyT]

1. Addendum:

You can read the Times piece here: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/03/world/no-morsel-too-minuscule-for-all-consuming-nsa.html

and the Guardian piece here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/02/nsa-portrait-total-surveillance

Though they're similar to an extent, it's worthwhile to read both -- not only do you get more NSA tidbits, you get a glimpse of different editorial approaches as well. Be sure, also, to check out the Guardian's impressively executed multimedia feature "NSA Files: Decoded." You'll find that here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/snowden-nsa-files-surveillance-revelations-decoded#section/1

Same as OP.
