Ok, but besides the fact that it is the very same government, I do not see
any other relationship between the NSA invasions and ICANN (or, even,
Internet resources themselves). It was, basically, a traditional
infrastructure breach, with the probable collaboration of some business
sectors at the higher levels, leveraged by the huge computer power
available today, the (traditional) geographic concentration of the undersea
fiber, plus illegal telephonic monitoring...
