The most interesting detail about the whole XKeyscore story is that it was apparently not leaked by Snowden

It is possible that the "second source" and the shadow brokers are one and the same.

The Guardian sourced information about it to Snowden's leaks in 2013. What makes you think it's from a separate leaker, and that it's the same leaker as the "shadow brokers"? All I see is conjecture in those links.
