Forbes SecureDrop is an open-source whistleblower submission system that media organizations such as Forbes use to securely accept documents from and communicate with anonymous sources. Users access the SecureDrop page through the Tor browser and follow instructions to send information. Users receive a codename to log back in and check for responses from Forbes reporters.
The New York Times offers ways to share materials with its journalists confidentially, including a submission form, Signal, postal mail and SecureDrop. The page describes what makes a good tip and notes that no communication system is completely secure.
News24 offers ways to send confidential news tips to its journalists, including email and SecureDrop, which encrypts submissions and stores them on a physically secured computer with decryption on an offline machine. The page gives instructions for using SecureDrop through the Tor browser and lists traditional mail addresses.
This arXiv paper proposes an end-to-end scalable architecture for early identification of new Tor sites and daily analysis of their content. It is built on an open source big data stack including Kubernetes, Kafka, Kubeflow and MinIO, discovering onion addresses across several sources, downloading HTML from Tor, deduplicating with MinHash LSH and categorizing with BERTopic modeling. In 93 days it identified 80,049 onion services and characterized 90% of them.
A secure contact page for journalist Stefania Maurizi directing sources to use SecureDrop rather than email or phone. Visitors access the .onion SecureDrop address through the Tor Browser to anonymously send messages or documents. The page recommends using Tails from a public computer and public WiFi at a location not usually visited.
The Guardian SecureDrop is a tool for securely sending messages and documents to the Guardian. It uses the Tor network to hide where messages came from, and communication is encrypted in transit and on the server. Sources access it through an onion URL using the Tor browser.
GlobaLeaks is free, open source software for setting up and maintaining a secure whistleblowing platform. It is designed as a framework for anonymous reporting, with privacy protection and submission protection enabled by default, and has been translated into over 70 languages. The source code is public and has been examined in independent security audits since 2011.
