Contact

If you need help using Tor you can contact WikiLeaks for assistance in setting it up using our simple webchat available at: https://wikileaks.org/talk

If you can use Tor, but need to contact WikiLeaks for other reasons use our secured webchat available at http://wlchatc3pjwpli5r.onion

We recommend contacting us over Tor if you can.

Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

After

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

WikiLeaks publishes documents of political or historical importance that are censored or otherwise suppressed. We specialise in strategic global publishing and large archives.

The following is the address of our secure site where you can anonymously upload your documents to WikiLeaks editors. You can only access this submissions system through Tor. (See our Tor tab for more information.) We also advise you to read our tips for sources before submitting.

wlupld3ptjvsgwqw.onion
Copy this address into your Tor browser. Advanced users, if they wish, can also add a further layer of encryption to their submission using our public PGP key.

If you cannot use Tor, or your submission is very large, or you have specific requirements, WikiLeaks provides several alternative methods. Contact us to discuss how to proceed.

For further information on the banking blockade against WikiLeaks download this PDF.
A kit with full information on the blockade and tools to assist WikiLeaks through it can be downloaded here.

For some examples of WikiLeaks-driven global reform together with selected feedback from other organisations, please click here. It includes overviews of WikiLeaks releases, descriptions of the impact and relevant press articles.

Issues Regarding the Financial System that Should Be Made Understandable to the General Public

- Who really controls VISA? It is carried in everyone’s pocket around the world. It used to be called BankAmericard. Who is controlling it now?
- What inspired the FBI to coordinate efforts in four different jurisdictions to prosecute young people with penalties of up to 15 years in prison in the case of Operation Avenge Assange (the attacks on PayPal)? What are the issues of proportionality, predictability of the law in these cases?
- Why are private financial companies used to create censorship? What is the effect of these companies being used as an arm to deliberately undermine the Constitution?
- How do these financial institutions impinge on people’s rights? – Human rights, freedom of speech, freedom of association and economic freedoms in a digital age? Are these financial institutions undermining the basic principles of democracy?
- What do the UN High Commission of Human Rights (Navanethem Pillay), the UN Special Rapporteur of the Right of Freedom of Opinion (Frank La Rue) and the OAS Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression (Catalina Botero) say about WikiLeaks banking blockade?
- Whilst you cannot donate to WikiLeaks what else can you buy with VISA? – For example, Visa allows you to:
• Donate to the Holocaust denial website ‘Institute for Historical Review’ and other similar anti-semitic organisations
• Donate to the KKK as well as The English Defence League (which Norwegian killer Breivik had ties to)
• Buy firearms (including those used by Breivik in Norway)
• Subscribe to pornographic sites such as ‘Barely Legal’
• Donate to the homophobic Americans for Truth About Homosexuality
- How are credit comprehensive records used for surveillance purposes? – Everyone’s personal data is connected to these cards. Information about most domestic payments go straight to the U.S. and Washington.
- Why isn’t there a widely used European card?
- Is Visa the largest currency in the world for everyday people?
- What is Bitcoin and why is it necessary?
- What is the Chinese lesson? – China has its own payment system, and has been very restrictive with VISA as a matter of state policy.
- What are the sovereignty-related concerns under VISA, Mastercard and PayPal? – They have effective control across economic borders.
- Why is the only credit card for the Olympics VISA? – The contrast of exclusion of all others in an event that is about unity, competition and inclusivity.
- What is the history of anti-trust violations by VISA and Mastercard and why is this allowed to continue? Can they ever be effectively sanctioned?
- How did the Bank of America use HB Gary to attack WikiLeaks? What was the involvement of the US Department of Justice? What has been the outcome of the complaint?

Interviews and Speaking

Kristinn Hrafnsson is the official WikiLeaks representative. He can be contacted for interviews or comment on:
Phone: +35 4821 7121

Julian Assange is a journalist and activist best known as the founder and public face of WikiLeaks. He has spoken at international events on WikiLeaks, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and internet activism.

To enquire about Julian Assange speaking at an event, please contact his speaker agency Leigh Bureau on:
Email: international@leighbureau.com

Leigh Bureau can only take requests for speaking engagements. Please do not email press requests, if you do so they are unable to answer them.

Who Else Works For WikiLeaks?

Given the high level assassination threats against WikiLeaks staff, we cannot disclose exact details about our team members. However, we want to share important information about us:

Our core staff come from four different continents.  Gender balance is important for us, exactly half of our staff members are women. We are young and old, and come from different cultural backgrounds. Our core staff speak at least ten different languages fluently.  Each of us have studied or lived abroad for significant periods of time.  All of us have university degrees and most of us have completed Master or PhD studies in top universities.

WikiLeaks is a diverse group of professionals with different areas of expertise, doing interdisciplinary, collaborative work. We are a dedicated team working to strengthen justice and fight censorship everywhere. We work all hours, all days of the week, and through moments of difficulty, with the certainty that our work is bringing important changes to different corners of the world.

Who Speaks for WikiLeaks?

No staff member from WikiLeaks will ever claim to be a staff member of WikiLeaks in the context of receiving sensitive information from you, with the exception of Julian Assange and Kristinn Hrafnsson, or as personally designated by them to you.

For the status of other channels or projects claiming affiliation with WikiLeaks please see the Supporters page.
