Source Safety
How to avoid exposing yourself before a secure tip channel is live for this publication.
Read This Before You Reach Out
This website is a public publication, not a confidential submission system.
Do not send sensitive information through this site, social media, ordinary email, workplace chat, or a phone number controlled by your employer. The first contact can expose you before anyone replies.
What This Site Can And Cannot Do
- This site publishes public reference material.
- It does not currently offer a live SecureDrop, encrypted web form, or anonymous upload channel.
- The
/admin/editor is for publication management only. It is not a place to submit confidential material.
Until A Dedicated Secure Channel Is Live
- Do not use a work device, work account, work network, or any device managed by someone else.
- Do not send files that include identifying metadata unless you understand the risk.
- Do not assume that deleting a message later removes the records created when you first sent it.
When this project launches a real secure intake channel, it will publish that guidance prominently on the site and mirror it across public pages so people do not have to guess which contact method is actually safe.
Why The Warning Is So Direct
Source protection starts before a source makes contact. A person can compromise themselves by reaching out over an unsafe channel the very first time, even if the reporter later suggests something safer.
That is why this project separates:
- the public publication site,
- the private drafting workflow,
- and any future secure source-intake system.
