Secure Sourcing & Whistleblower Protection

We provide a legally shielded, technologically fortified environment for sources to share information. Your identity is our highest priority.

Our Commitment to Source Protection

Aevum News operates under a strict editorial firewall and employs industry-leading encryption protocols to protect whistleblowers, anonymous sources, and investigative collaborators. We understand that speaking truth to power requires absolute confidence that your identity and communications will remain confidential.

We do not log metadata, we do not share source data with third parties, and we operate under established journalistic privilege standards to resist compelled disclosure wherever legally possible.

🛡️

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Our servers never store unencrypted source data. All submissions are processed through ephemeral, memory-only environments.

⚖️

Legal Shield & Privilege

We maintain active counsel specializing in press freedom and whistleblower defense. Subpoenas are met with immediate legal resistance.

🔐

End-to-End Encryption

Submissions use PGP/GPG and TLS 1.3. No middlemen, no unencrypted transit, no plaintext storage.

👁️

Need-to-Know Access

Only the assigned investigative editor can access your submission. Metadata is stripped before internal routing.

How to Submit Securely

1

Access via Tor or Secure Network

Use the Tor Browser or a trusted VPN. Avoid public Wi-Fi and personal devices linked to your identity.

2

Prepare Your Materials

Remove metadata from files using tools like ExifTool or Purify. Compress sensitive documents into an encrypted archive.

3

Submit Through Secure Channel

Use our encrypted form below or send via our published SecureDrop instance. Include a pseudonym and optional PGP key for replies.

4

Verify & Wait

We will respond via Signal or encrypted email within 72 hours. We never ask for your real name or location.

✅

Data Retention Policy

All submissions are automatically purged from our servers 30 days after publication or verification, unless explicitly requested to be retained by the source.

⚠️

Safety First

If you are in immediate danger, contact local authorities or whistleblower support organizations like the National Whistleblower Center or Citizen Lab. We do not provide emergency services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you ever reveal my identity?
Never without your explicit, written consent. Aevum News maintains a strict anonymity policy. We will legally resist any compelled disclosure of source identity through applicable shield laws and press freedom protections.
What if I receive a subpoena or legal pressure?
Our legal team will immediately file motions to quash or assert reporter's privilege. We have never yielded to compelled source disclosure and maintain court-ordered protections in multiple jurisdictions.
Do you verify anonymous sources?
Yes. We verify the credibility of information through independent cross-referencing, document authentication, and corroborating witnesses. Anonymity protects your identity, not the accuracy of the content.
Can I remain completely anonymous?
Absolutely. We use pseudonyms, encrypted communication, and metadata-stripped document handling. You can choose to be fully anonymous, partially identified, or publicly credited.
