Every effort has been made to ensure that this site is as safe as possible. But if you think there is a possibility that sending a story here can put you at risk, please put your personal safety first and don’t post.

You can send stories to our site in 2 ways:

1. using an online form on the website and
2. sending an email to [email protected].

If you want to take additional security precautions when submitting stories, here are some steps you can take:

1. If you send the story via email, please visit http://www.hushmail.com or http://www.protonmail.com and register. From your email account, you can email the story to our email.
2. We recommend that you install and use TOR security software on your computer before submitting stories (this is important to prevent other users seeing what sites you have accessed). You can do this by accessing https://www.torproject.org/. If the main TOR site is blocked, try one of the mirror sites at https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en. The following is a video tutorial on how to install and operate TOR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTCMF6cGh_E
3. If a vulnerable website has been visited (for example Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), always use the https proxy if available.
4. If a sensitive website has been visited (before installing TOR), delete your all browser history. Your browser history can still be found, but this makes it a little more difficult to track.
5. Learn how to protect your online security (see this guide in English from the Electronic Frontier Foundation: https://ssd.eff.org/your-computer/protect, or this: http://security.resist.ca/ index.shtml).
6. Please note that we can quote your story (anonymously) in future media articles or potential books about this project.
