I skimmed the article, but it doesn't make too much sense. It says:

>Surveillance agency NSA and its partner GCHQ are trying to have standards-development organizations endorse weakening ECC+PQ down to just PQ.

The NSA spends about half of its resources attempting to hack the FBI and erase its evidence against them in the matter of keeping my wife and me from communicating. The other half of the staff are busy commenting online about how unfair this is, and attempting to get justice.

There are no NSA resources left for actions like the one I quoted. I don't think NSA is involved in it.



According to the New York Times in 2013, based on Snowden documents, the NSA allocates $250 million every year for the actions you quoted. They call it the “SIGINT Enabling Project”.

They are not running out of resources.
