Private browser network Tor has unexpected friends in unexpected places

British and American intelligence agents attempting to hack the "dark web" are being deliberately undermined by colleagues, it has been alleged.
Spies from both countries have been working on finding flaws in Tor, a popular way of anonymously accessing "hidden" sites.
But the team behind Tor says other spies are tipping them off, allowing them to quickly fix any vulnerabilities.
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.
He said leaks had come from both the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the US National Security Agency (NSA).
By fixing these flaws, the project can protect users' anonymity, he said.
