Do any cybersecurity reporters/outlets who cover the US have SecureDrop setup on Tor?

Context is there’s going to need to be more robust reporting with anonymous sources.

@GossiTheDog 90% sure the ProPublica did; not sure current status.

@meejah @GossiTheDog It doesn't appear ProPublica uses SecureDrop any more, but they do have Signal contacts for each of their reporters in their bios

@GossiTheDog SecureDrop has a directory: https://securedrop.org/directory/?country=12

No cyber-specific outlets listed there, and it seems not comprehensive, e.g., one not listed is https://www.economist.com/securedrop/

@com @GossiTheDog afaik you have to add your instance to any listing, and you wouldn't want to force a centralized directory for all the good reasons.

@GossiTheDog Usually the publication itself uses it - not some reporter/department. Like, you'd have The New York Times using it - not someone there who happens to report on cybersecurity.

Anyway, Securedrop keeps a directory of them:

@GossiTheDog The Guardian appears to use it https://www.theguardian.com/securedrop

@GossiTheDog my mate setup a secure drop at the FT a while ago https://www.ft.com/news-tips/

They have other methods as well.
