In order to do our investigative work at Direkt36 effectively we need access to information that those in power want to conceal. If you are aware of important stories of public interest and have proof of them, then please, share it with us!<\/p>\n
You can send us an email anytime to info@direkt36.hu<\/a>, but if the information you have is sensitive, then it is better to use secure communications channels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can send messages or even share files with us using Signal<\/strong>, which is an easy-to-use application that encrypts communication. This application can be downloaded to Android and iOS phones, and having an account you can also download it to your computer.<\/p>\n You can contact us on Whatsapp<\/strong> too, which provides encrypted messaging.<\/p>\n You can contact directly our\u00a0colleagues on Signal or Whatsapp:<\/p>\n Andr\u00e1s Peth\u0151: +36 30 229 8734 You can securely email us using PGP encryption. If you have not used this encryption method before, all you have to do is to install the application called Mailvelope<\/a><\/strong>. PGP encryption provides encryption for the body text of your emails and of the attached files, but does not encrypt the sender\u2019s and the recipient\u2019s email address, nor the subject of the mail. Keep this in mind and do not share sensitive information in these fields.<\/p>\n In order to send an email using PGP encryption, you have to send us your public PGP key (you will be provided one during the installation process of Mailvelope). You\u2019ll also need our public PGP keys, which you can find below:<\/p>\n Andr\u00e1s Peth\u0151 Andr\u00e1s Szab\u00f3 You can send encrypted mail through Protonmail too. This application also encrypts email but only the ones sent between two Protonmail<\/a><\/strong> addresses. So, to use the service, you need to register at the website of Protonmail (it\u2019s free) and the recipient should be direkt36@protonmail.com.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can safely share files with us using a free internet browser called Tor<\/a><\/strong> and an additional file sharing software called Onionshare<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tor is a browser that (unlike the most popular ones like Chrome or Firefox) keeps the user\u2019s identity secret. This means that while browsing with Tor you are basically invisible on the internet. Onionshare is a file sharing application that generates random IP addresses where it uploads the files you\u2019d like to share. Nobody but you will know these IP address until you decide to share it.<\/p>\n File sending is quite easy:<\/p>\n Please, keep in mind that step 5 is crucial. If you do not use an encrypted channel to send us the secret file sharing link, your secrets might be seen by unwanted persons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sending documents offline via post is still one of the safest ways to communicate. Here\u2019s our address:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every communication channel listed above is safe, but every system can be attacked, or weak points can pop up, so before using them, it is advised to do a little research on IT blogs to see whether the method you chose still works properly.<\/p>\n Bare it in mind that the trustworthiness of these methods depends on your actions, too. Using unsafe PCs (like virus infected ones or PCs at net caf\u00e9s) or public wireless internet networks can decrease or even nullify the effectiveness of encryption. To avoid this, please, be watchful when you are about to share very sensitive information with us or anyone else.<\/p>\nEncrypted messages<\/h1>\n
