SecureDrop

SecureDrop is Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF)'s flagship project: a free and open-source whistleblower submission system that enables secure, anonymous communication between sources and journalists.

SecureDrop is used by over 60 major news organizations worldwide, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and ProPublica. Designed with an uncompromising focus on security, SecureDrop operates over the Tor network and uses strong compartmentalization and air-gapped systems to protect against surveillance and external threats. This architecture allows sources to share sensitive information and files without revealing their identity, even to the newsrooms receiving the material.

SecureDrop directly supports internet freedom by providing critical infrastructure for safe, anonymous speech in the digital age. It enables whistleblowers to expose wrongdoing without fear of retaliation, strengthens investigative journalism, and helps ensure that vital public-interest information can be shared despite increasing threats to privacy and press freedom.
