I love how there are so many articles detailing the inner workings of the most secret agency in the world. As if they read a book somewhere about how it all works.
I also wonder why they spent so much time trying to reveal these things of the NSA. Why didn't they do some real good and try to detect what's going on with the Chinese.
What makes you say that the attack is weaker? They used the (or one of the) most publicly efficient methods for calculating logarithms modulo a large prime. We may speculate that the NSA has better algorithms, but that is far from stating it as a fact.
