FWIW, Wikileaks is saying that they were 'infiltrating' the Google repos: <a href="http://twitter.com/wikileaks/" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/wikileaks/</a> (and specifically <a href="http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7688415363" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7688415363</a> ). The NYT is simply parroting Google, so I give Wikileaks more credence.<p>(Colloquially, you can be 'stealing' something while haven't yet actually absconded with it yet, and be foiled if discovered.)
