Calling all whistleblowers, Wikileaks wants you
Wikileaks, the secure platform for international whistleblowers and untraceable mass document leaking, is aiming to make it even easier for leaks to occur through enabling newspapers, human rights organisations, criminal investigators and others to embed an “upload a disclosure to me via Wikileaks” form onto their Web sites.
Through offering a secure channel, the intention is to give whistleblowers the ability to securely leak sensitive documents to organisations or journalists while ensuring both the sender and recipient are fully protected.
“We will take the burden of protecting the source and the legal risks associated with publishing the document,” Julien Assange, an advisory board member at Wikileaks, was reported as saying at the Hack In The Box security conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Over three years on the web, Wikileaks has received around 1.2 million documents.
Wikileaks was established by Chinese dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and startup company technologists, from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa.
As The Guardian said last year: “From government to big business, if you have a dirty secret, Wikileaks is your nightmare”. Now, where’s that Wikileaks WordPress widget?
