If you intend to submit information to The Center for Public Integrity’s SecureDrop, we recommend that you compare the .onion address provided on the organization’s landing page to this one ahgpmkiaqfde4innkotgz5q6bgt4gbxmelqod3tjtmpdt3zvxaxareyd.onion and verify that the addresses match before continuing. This provides a strong layer of defense against certain types of attacks that might try to trick you into visiting a malicious SecureDrop instance masquerading as a legitimate one.
If you encounter a mismatch, please contact us at securedrop@freedom.press. This could be evidence of an attempted attack, or it could be a simple failure to communicate between an organization running SecureDrop and Freedom of the Press Foundation. In either case, we will investigate the matter and establish a path to resolution.
