Publeaks
The Investigative Desk encourages whistle-blowers to securely submit all forms of content that might be of public concern – documents, photos, video clips as well as tips for articles. We accept all information that relates to potential wrongdoing by corporate, government or public service entities in any country, anywhere in the world.
To share this content with us we recommend the use of Publeaks, a system set up in the Netherlands to enable a secure and anonymous transfer of information.
Encrypted email
The Investigative Desk uses email with PGP encryption. You can find our public key here. Please note that by using PGP, you will encrypt the contents of your message. However, the name of the sender, the subject and other header information will not be encrypted.
WhatsApp enforces end-to-end encryption by default on messages. WhatsApp claims nobody but you can read the messages, not even people working at WhatsApp.
Signal
Signal is a free, open-source, end-to-end encrypted messaging application that enables you to send text messages, multimedia and smaller files. Signal does not store metadata and can be configured to remove messages from all devices automatically.
By mail
Postal mail still offers the highest level of security. You can post printed documents and portable storage devices with electronic files directly to The Investigative Desk at the address below:
