NSA and GCHQ agents 'leak Tor bugs' alleges developer

(BBC) Some US and UK cyberspies are deliberately undermining their workmates' "dark web" surveillance efforts, according to the leading developer of software used to access hidden parts of the internet.


The Tor Project's executive director has alleged members of the NSA and GCHQ regularly leak it details of flaws the agencies have discovered in its code.

By fixing these flaws, the project can protect users' anonymity, he explained.

The agencies declined to comment.

The allegations were made in an interview given to the BBC by Andrew Lewman, who is responsible for all the Tor Project's operations.

"There are plenty of people in both organisations who can anonymously leak data to us to say - maybe you should look here, maybe you should look at this to fix this," he said.
