I'd kind of forgotten about Snowden. It's been a while since he was making headlines. I wonder how much his efforts helped our rivals identify and plug gaps in their systems.
I guess I kind of fixated on just the last few years, during which all of the digital espionage traffic seems pretty much one-way.

That's definitely a possibility, but the US media doesn't have the best track record when it comes to voluntarily refusing to break/report major stories that have the possibility of compromising US intelligence OPSEC (see Snowden).
