The newly installed director of the National Security Agency says that while he has seen some terrorist groups alter their communications to avoid surveillance techniques revealed by Edward Snowden, the overall damage done by a year of Snowden’s revelations does not lead him to the conclusion that “the sky is falling.” In an interview with the New York Times, Adm. Michael Rogers, who has overseen the agency for almost three months, described the series of steps he was taking to ensure that no one could download the trove of data that Mr. Snowden gathered—more than a million documents. But Rogers cautioned that there was no perfect protection against a dedicated insider with access to the agency’s networks. “Am I ever going to sit here and say as the director that with 100 percent certainty no one can compromise our systems from the inside?” Rogers said. “Nope. Because I don’t believe that in the long run.”
