He can't attribute the bugfixes, but he can obviously identify which ones they are. He's made an extraordinary claim. Let's see some data. I'd sure like to know which Tor bugs he thinks NSA leaked him.

> Mr Lewman said that his organisation received tips from security agency sources on "probably [a]monthly" basis about bugs and design issues that potentially could compromise the service.> However, he acknowledged that because of the way the Tor Project received such information, he could not prove who had sent it.> "It's a hunch," he said.

It would make sense, because I expect that they use Tor a great deal themselves.Perhaps they only anonymously report the bugs that they detect someone else potentially exploiting? I'm sure they would try to maintain their ability to try and break the protocol, but perhaps if they think some other (non five-eyes intelligence) actor has discovered the vulnerability then they report it.

Hundreds of millions of people rely on Tor? That's at a minimum like 10% of the internet.

Please do not editorialize article titles. That is against the site guidelines.(Edit: The submitted title was "NSA, GCHQ agents deliberately undermining Tor surveillance efforts by NSA, GCHQ". Was in a rush and forgot to mention it earlier.)

With a name like "National Security Agency," you'd think that filing bugs would be part their official duties in securing the nation.
