General Opsec Guide for Transferring Information Anonymously

As of January 2017, WikiSpooks has withdrawn provision of an Anonymous file
upload upload facility.

Anonymous submissions are still welcome but, in view of low historical
usage of the secure upload-form facility, pgp-encrypted email (with or
without file attachments) is the only practical method available for the
site. Use of pgp-encryption with a single-use email address over a public
WiFi facility is probably as 'anonymous' as was the discontinued form.

Note: Unless anonymity is of fundamental importance, the best way to
publish a document file on Wikispooks is through the 'Regular file upload'
page, available to all registered users. Files uploaded using this option
are immediately available to both view and edit on the WikiSpooks site.

Obviously if a news outlet is to publish a document, it should minimize any
information conveyed beyond the message. Actually US Gov FOI practices
typically involve printing out a redacted document before re-scanning it.
Ideally the best thing for the Intercept to have done is to use a low
resolution black-white copy machine, and mail the document again since
there is no urgency in this matter.


Naturally I am interested in when news organizations will publish
unredacted documents. After five years, information loses a lot of value.
Lot of software end of lifed five years ago, which doesn't include Windows
XP, which was EOL'd more recently than five years ago.

Regardless, I think journalists should be more carefully vetted, maybe some
of them met the Russian ambassador.
