I offer the following secure options to get in touch with me if you have confidential information:

Signal

Signal is a free messaging app similar to WhatsApp, but it stores less information about its users. Signal only

registers your phone number and the last time you used the app. Other metadata like timestamps on messages are not recorded.

Signal also offers the option to send messages that self- destruct after a set time after the message is seen. You will disclose your phone number with us when you send a message.

My Signal Number: +974 5080 0207

WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a free encrypted messaging app, which means only the sender and receiver can read the messages. The app allows you to send text messages, images, videos, audio and text documents. In case messages are

intercepted by third parties, they cannot be read because of the encryption the app uses. However, because some information about you as a user is stored on WhatsApp servers (phone numbers, certain types of metadata, including timestamps on messages), the app is not completely anonymous.

If you use WhatsApp to contact us, be aware that you also share your phone number with us.

My WhatsApp Number: +974 5080 0207

Telegram

Telegram is a free messaging app similar to Signal, but it offers a wider range of features and customizable privacy options. Telegram registers your phone number to create an account, but you can adjust settings to hide it from others. Messages and media are stored in the cloud, making them accessible across devices.

Telegram also provides the option for Secret Chats, which use end-to-end encryption and allow messages to self- destruct after a set time. In regular chats, encryption is server-based, meaning Telegram stores them securely but could access them if required. When using Telegram, your phone number is disclosed to Telegram itself but can remain hidden from other users based on your privacy settings.

Proton Mail Address

Proton Mail is a free, secure email service designed to prioritize privacy and user security. Unlike many traditional email providers, Proton Mail does not track your activity or store metadata related to your emails. The only required information for creating an account is a username, and providing additional details, like a recovery email, is optional.

Proton Mail offers end-to-end encryption for your emails, ensuring that only you and your recipient can read the messages. Even Proton Mail itself cannot access your email content. Additionally, it supports features like self-

destructing messages, adding an extra layer of privacy. You won’t need to disclose personal information to sign up for Proton Mail, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a private and secure email solution.

What is SecureDrop?

SecureDrop is an encrypted submission system that is highly recommended if you value both confidentiality and anonymity. Because it uses the Tor network, your identity, location and other information will be protected. SecureDrop allows us to communicate while keeping both parties completely anonymous from each other.

To use SecureDrop, you must:
Download and install software to access the Tor network: https://www.torproject.org. (if this web page is blocked in your country, you can send an email ([email protected]) or a direct message on Twitter to @get_tor to get a direct download link)
Once you load the Tor browser, copy and paste the URL http: //ajiunit. securedrop. tor. onion into the Tor address bar. You will then find additional instructions on how to submit files to Al Jazeera.
.A randomly generated, unique code name will be assigned to you. If Al Jazeera wishes to contact you, we will do so in your SecureDrop. These messages can only be accessed using your code name.
Using the Tails operating system is recommended to increase security. More information on the Tails operating system can be found here.

Cases-What secrets I have exploded
Miami Herald Investigation (2018)
My investigative reporting for the Miami Herald was a major turning point in bringing renewed attention to Epstein’s crimes. In this case series titled “Perversion of Justice, “I uncovered how Epstein was able to secure a lenient plea deal in 2008 for sexually abusing dozens of young women and girls, despite evidence of a much larger pattern of criminal activity.
