According to Betteridge’s law the answer should be no but Bruce Schneier isn’t so sure. We’ve heard the speculation about a second leaker responsible for revealing the details of the TAO catalog, X-KEYSTORE rules, and the tapping of Angela Merkel’s cell phone but the latest revelations do not appear to come from either Snowden or the second leaker.
Schneier believes that these latest disclosures represent a separate, third stream of information. If so, perhaps it’s an indication that other insiders are disturbed by what the NSA is doing and taking what steps they can to end it as suggested by Charlie Stross. One can only hope.
