There is diplomatic fallout for the US. However, the simple truth, as far as Germany is concerned, is this.

German counter intelligence and the Bundeswehr's much praised cyber warfare protection division that was launched some time ago with a lot of hoorays and hellos, have done a lousy job in defending against the NSA's attacks.

And German business companies additionally have a lousy reputation for their cyberattack protection measures.

Germans are romantics. We do not do things - we dream them for the better and write a poem about them. If it is stupid and anti-Israeli enough, the author even gets applause and wins a literature prize for it. That scares all our enemies away, and we are safe again.

As far as I know, the BND is said to be very competent in one field only: and that is its number of HUMINT contacts and general information status in the ME.
