Installed by news outlets on their premises, SecureDrop protects journalists from secret surveillance and aims to make governments more transparent and accountable.

SecureDrop uses the Tor network for anonymity, strong encryption for privacy, and additional protections to prevent malware attacks. It's in use by more than 60 media organizations worldwide and available in 22 languages.
