i would imagine that the NSA and GCHQ would try and hack and access as many High bandwidth entry and exit nodes as possible, if unable to hack im sure they would monitor the connection from the ISP. In the case of tormail they were trying to get anyone and everyone's ip address, im sure every ip address gathered from that site is monitored and kept an eye on. Sure they have a few "targeted only attacks" but in general they need to deanonymize a large portion of the network so they can pinpoint their attack on a specific target. I think anyone who uses Tor is a target, I prefer to use it over vpn to my tor usage is not pointed back to my ISP. Also those whom used Tor on their router or a VPN on their router wouldnt be effected by a browser exploit identifying their real ip unless it used CSS to login to your router and pull your ISP ip, but thats what logins and passwords are for.
