Tips

Documents, leads, a record someone hoped nobody would read. I read everything. I protect sources. I don't promise a story.

◇ Encrypted email

Encrypt to my PGP key and send to [email protected]

Check the fingerprint before you trust the key:

5D30 A33E 08E3 5B89 15B4 C7E2 E207 8E65 3FE3 89CD

Encryption hides what you said, not that you said something. The subject line, the time and both addresses travel in the clear.

○ Before you send anything

  • Use your own device on your own network. Work laptops and office Wi-Fi belong to someone who isn't you.
  • Don't forward documents from a work account. Assume the logs remember who opened what, and when.
  • Files carry their history: author names, edit trails, printer dots, the exact copy only five people received. Tell me how you got it and I'll work out what's safe to show.
  • If you're the only person who could have known it, say so up front. Protecting you starts before anything is published.
  • Timing is metadata. Sending the hour after a meeting narrows the list of who was in the room. If it can wait, let it.
