From ANONYMOUS on Twitter:

Dear @USDA & @EPA Employees,

Here’s some @SecureDrop links for you:

How to Contact The Intercept Anonymously
If this is your first time using The Intercept’s SecureDrop server, read this page carefully first. For more detailed operational security advice, read the How to Leak to The Intercept blog post.

The Intercept is serious about protecting our sources. With our SecureDrop server, you can share messages and files with our journalists in a way that should help you remain secure and anonymous, even from us. Messages and files that you send to us will be encrypted.

How to Use The Intercept’s SecureDrop Server
Everything you do on the Internet leaves trails. Before following these instructions, go to a public wifi network, such as at a coffee shop that you don’t normally frequent, and follow them from there. Or connect to a VPN.

Download and install the Tor Browser Bundle from https://www.torproject.org/.
Open the Tor Browser and copy and paste this into the address bar: https://y6xjgkgwj47us5ca.onion/
Follow the instructions to send us information. You will be given a codename that you can use to log back in and check for responses in the future.
Don’t access our SecureDrop server from your home or office. If you wish to ensure maximum privacy, use the Tails operating system instead of the Tor Browser.

SecureDrop

SecureDrop is an open source whistleblower submission systems, originally programmed by the late Aaron Swartz, that is maintained by the Freedom of the Press Foundation.


A gag order on scientists and government employees is the beginning of a new Dark Age on information.
