I did see a comment on the New York Times original story that points out that the article never says what was actually broken or exactly what that means. Encryption will still help, though perhaps not as much as it should. Considering that and how the NSA has apparently broken US laws and international treaties I've got no trust in American things now. That's also why the PRISM Break site suggests moving to non-commercial programmes. Those are possible more secure. Although it's scary to see that security enhanced linux was designed by the NSA and the AES encryption protocol was also partly authored by the NSA.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
