Contact

If you need help using Tor you can contact WikiLeaks for assistance in setting it up using our simple webchat available at: /talk

If you can use Tor, but need to contact WikiLeaks for other reasons use our secured webchat available at http://wlchatc3pjwpli5r.onion

We recommend contacting us over Tor if you can.

Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

WikiLeaks publishes documents of political or historical importance that are censored or otherwise suppressed. We specialise in strategic global publishing and large archives.

The following is the address of our secure site where you can anonymously upload your documents to WikiLeaks editors. You can only access this submissions system through Tor. (See our Tor tab for more information.) We also advise you to read our tips for sources before submitting.

If you cannot use Tor, or your submission is very large, or you have specific requirements, WikiLeaks provides several alternative methods. Contact us to discuss how to proceed.

NSA y GCHQ espían a Wikileaks

NSA y GCHQ espían a Wikileaks

Julian Assange hace un llamamiento a que se nombre un Fiscal Especial para investigar a la NSA, después que documentos demuestren que los EE.UU. espiaron a Wikileaks y a sus partidarios.

Hoy fueron publicados documentos que originaron con el denunciante de seguridad nacional Edward Snowden, que detallan los esfuerzos de los EE.UU. y del Reino Unido para espiar a la organización de publicaciones Wikileaks. Un documento demuestra que ya en 2010 la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional (NSA) de los Estados Unidos puso al editor de Wikileaks Julian Assange en una lista de blancos denominado "MANHUNTING", donde se encontraban también los nombres de miembros de al-Qaeda. Otro documento comprueba que la NSA quería designar a Wikileaks como "actor extranjero malicioso", para permitirse expandir la abilidad de la NSA de espiar a empleados, asociados y simpatizantes de Wikileaks. Un tercer documento, del 2012, demuestra que el socio Británico de la NSA, la GCHQ, también espió a Wikileaks y a sus lectores.

En respuesta a estas revelaciones, el editor de Wikileaks Julian Assange ha publicado la siguiente declaración:

"Wikileaks firmemente condena el comportamiento imprudente e ilegal de la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional. Hacemos un llamado al gobierno de Obama a que designe a un Fiscal Especial para investigar el alcance de la actividad criminal de la NSA en contra de los medios, entre ellos Wikileaks y su extensiva red. La noticia de que la NSA planeó estos operativos en el nivel de su Oficina del Asesor General es especialmente preocupante. Igualmente problemático son las revelaciones que el gobierno de los EE.UU. desplegaron "elementos de poder del estado" para presionar a países de la Unión Europea a que abusen de sus respectivos sistemas legales; y que la agencia de espionaje británico GCHQ esté involucrado en un amplio monitoreo hostíl de un popular sitio web editorial, y de sus lectores. La NSA y sus cómplices del Reino Unido no muestran respeto alguno por el Estado de Derecho. Pero hay un costo al momento de llevar a cabo acciones ilícitas contra un medio de comunicación. Ya hemos presentado causas penales en contra del FBI y las Fuerzas Armadas de los EE.UU. en múltiples jurisdicciones europeas. El informante a sueldo de la FBI, quien intentó vender información a la FBI acerca de mi y de mis empleados, fue encarcelado a principios de este año. Ninguna entidad, incluida la NSA, debería poder actuar contra periodistas con impunidad. Hemos instruido a nuesto representante legal Juez Baltasar Garzón a que prepare la respuesta indicada. Las investigaciones a los intentos de interferir con la labor de Wikileaks se desplegarán por donde tengan que desplegarse. No se equivoque: aquellos responsables rendirán cuentas y serán llevados ante la justicia.

Estas revelaciones ocurrieron después de la publicación ayer de dos nuevos documentos provenientes [de la investigación de larga duración del Gran Jurado de los EE.UU. en contra de Wikileaks->http://www.alexaobrien.com/secondsight/wikileaks/grand_jury/newly_published_secret_grand_jury_orders_and_related_material_shed_light_on_the_continuing_us_investigation_of_wikileaks_now_entering_its_fifth_year.html]. En noviembre del 2013 el Departamento de Justicia de los EE.UU. dijo que esa investigación es continua.
