SecureDrop relies on Tor, software that enables anonymous communication and obscures your computer’s IP address. SecureDrop is a project of the <a href="https://securedrop.org/">Freedom of the Press Foundation</a>. </p> <p class="mv4 mv6-m"> In order to use SecureDrop: <ul> <li>Go to a place with a public Internet connection, one that you don't normally frequent.</li> <li>Download and install the Tor browser bundle from https://www.torproject.org</li> <li>Open the Tor browser and copy this url into the browser address bar: 4cjb3is6fnzgnwadeasmvk4oinukh6wqn2dmaggoz5kf6q3qoa6splid.onion</li> <li>From this url, you will be able to send messages and files to a secure dropbox that we will check periodically.</li> <li>You will be provided with a codename that you will use to log in to check for replies from NBC News.</li> <li>Keep the codename you are provided safe and secure. We will not know your codename, and you should never share it with anyone. If you forget your codename, we will have no other way to contact you.</li> </ul> </p> <p class="mv4 mv6-m"> Nearly all digital communications can leave a trail. NBC News’ SecureDrop is designed to minimize these digital trails using best practices, such as: <ul> <li> Limiting collection of information logged about your browser, computer or operating system. </li> <li> Using Tor to encrypt and anonymize your communications with us. </li> <li> Storing submissions in encrypted form on our systems. </li> <li> Physically isolating SecureDrop from the rest of our network. </li> </ul> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer" id="hfs-footer"></div> </body> </html>
