SecureDrop

SecureDrop is open-source software that lets sources tip newsrooms anonymously over Tor; newsrooms run their own instances. This is an editorial profile, not a live crawl.

About SecureDrop

SecureDrop is a Freedom of the Press Foundation project: a Tor-facing tip inbox that newsrooms and NGOs can self-host. Sources use Tor Browser to upload documents to a chosen organization’s instance.

This short profile is why SecureDrop appears in Tool profiles on the Links hub. For a list of participating outlets, use the SecureDrop Directory entry. We do not invent a generic SecureDrop onion — each newsroom publishes its own.

Instance addresses live under each newsroom or the official directory — not on this card.

What this page does not claim

This page is not a tips inbox and does not host a SecureDrop onion.
Prefer the official directory or the newsroom’s own instructions over forum reposts.

Public sources

This profile is compiled from open, publicly available internet sources. We use those pages as background, not as partners, and a published mention is not a live check of the service.

How TorBible records SecureDrop

The .onion string, if present, is the address already in our directory file. Prose on this page is compiled from open public internet sources and is worded as reported when we have not verified it in-house. See phishing detection and the onion links directory.
