Protect Yourself

Stay Anonymous

Before you reach out, take a few steps to protect yourself. Operational security matters.

Use Tor Browser or Tails OS

Tor routes your traffic through multiple servers so your IP address can't be traced back to you. Tails OS leaves no trace on the computer you use. Both are free and straightforward to set up.

Signal With Disappearing Messages

If you contact us via Signal, turn on disappearing messages before you do. Set a short timer 1 week or less. That way, if anyone gets hold of your phone later, the conversation is already gone.

Strip EXIF Data From Photos

Photos taken on smartphones contain hidden metadata GPS coordinates, device model, time stamps. Use a tool like ExifTool or your phone's built-in sharing options to remove this data before you send anything.

Don't Tip From Work Devices or Networks

Your employer can log everything on a work laptop or phone, and corporate Wi-Fi records traffic. Use a personal device on a personal connection ideally at a location you don't regularly visit.

What We Investigate

We Cover This

We're interested in stories that matter to ordinary people and that those in power would rather stay buried.

Police Misconduct

Excessive force, cover-ups, institutional racism, wrongful arrests, evidence tampering if it happened and you saw it or have documentation, we want to know.

Political Corruption

Dodgy contracts, conflicts of interest, backroom deals, councillors or officials using their position for personal gain. Local, regional, national it all counts.

Corporate Wrongdoing

Environmental violations, worker exploitation, safety cover-ups, financial fraud. If a company is causing harm and hoping no one finds out, we're interested.
