So even if Goog or Yahoo encrypt their data between DCs, what stops the NSA from decrypting that data? Or would it be done simply to make their lives a bit more of a PiTA to get the data they want?
My bet is that when the said the were "partially" capable of intercepting things, that means that they haven't broken any of the usual suspects in a spectacular way, but instead are using anything they can think of to do what they want to do. So all of the known crypto vulnerabilities, backdoors, breakins, etc, etc are added to the "partial" bucket. And it wouldn't surprise me that that "partial" is an impressive amount, because so much of internet security is a big old maginot
