Steps you can take to stay anonymous:

• Don’t contact us from your home or work computer or internet connection. Use a public wi-fi network in an area where your screen is not visible to security cameras.
• Use separate accounts from the ones you usually use for email, Google, social media, etc. for contact and browsing activity related to your tip.
• Consider downloading Tor browser and using a secure operating system like Tails.
• Avoid personal communication with us via email, phone or social media. Someone investigating a leak may be able to discover you by tracing your habits.
• Delete everything. Erase documents, web history, messages, proof of contact, do not keep trails of communication or activity anywhere that is normally accessible.
• Don’t tell anyone that you’re a source.
