No. The backdoor relies on the generator of the parameters (presumably the NSA) knowing a discrete logarithm ahead of time. Anyone outside the NSA would have to break a rather large discrete logarithm, which is just not gonna happen anytime soon.

That's a good question. I suspect if so, it was alongside an academic paper and this stuff just doesn't get attention from journalists. I'd be curious to find out but I don't have the skills to pore over the material myself.

Do you really think "academic finds back door in NSA's random number generator" wouldn't get headlines? Remember how people freaked over the mere mention of the name of "NSAKEY" freaked everyone out?
