FWIW, Wikileaks is saying that they were 'infiltrating' the Google repos: http://twitter.com/wikileaks/ (and specifically http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7688415363 ). The NYT is simply parroting Google, so I give Wikileaks more credence.

(Colloquially, you can be 'stealing' something while haven't yet actually absconded with it yet, and be foiled if discovered.)

Wikileaks: "Several rumours from google sources that China accessed google's US-gov intercept system which provides gmail subjects/dates"

I'm remembering recent news about convenient gov't web portals to telecom records...
