If you have information about wrongdoing, corruption, or matters of public interest, Aevum News provides secure, anonymous channels for whistleblowers to share evidence — protected by industry-leading encryption and editorial safeguards.
Aevum News recognizes that whistleblowers play a critical role in holding power to account. We are committed to providing safe, encrypted channels for individuals who wish to share information about corruption, abuse, criminal activity, or any matter of public interest.
Your identity, your communications, and the evidence you provide are treated with the utmost confidentiality. Our security infrastructure and editorial policies are designed to protect you.
We never reveal the identity of confidential sources without their explicit consent, regardless of legal or political pressure.
All submissions are protected by military-grade encryption. We use the latest security tools to ensure your data remains private.
Our editors assess submissions based on factual accuracy and public interest — never on political affiliation or external influence.
Aevum News operates a dedicated SecureDrop system — an open-source whistleblower submission platform that allows sources to securely submit documents and communications to our journalists through the Tor network.
Our system does not collect IP addresses, does not require registration, and does not store personal information. Once you submit, the connection is severed immediately.
Choose the method that best fits your security needs and comfort level.
Our primary submission channel. Access our SecureDrop instance through the Tor network for maximum anonymity and security.
Send encrypted emails directly to our dedicated whistleblower email address. Your message will be read only by authorized journalists.
If digital methods are not feasible, we can arrange a physical dead drop location. Contact us through Tor first to coordinate.
Help our journalists evaluate your information efficiently while keeping you protected.
Every layer of our infrastructure is designed to protect your identity and your information.
All submitted files and communications are encrypted using AES-256 — the same standard used by governments and military organizations worldwide. Your data is unreadable without the decryption key.
Our SecureDrop system is designed on a zero-knowledge model. We cannot see your IP address, device information, or location. The connection between you and our servers is anonymized at every hop.
Once your submission has been reviewed by our editorial team, all connection metadata is permanently destroyed. We do not maintain logs, backups, or archives of source communications.
Submissions are accessible only to a small, designated editorial team. Access requires multi-factor authentication and is logged internally for accountability. Journalists never share source identities.
Aevum News operates under strong press freedom protections and has a legal team dedicated to defending source confidentiality. We have never revealed a confidential source in our history.
Our infrastructure undergoes independent security audits quarterly by third-party cybersecurity firms. All findings are addressed immediately and results are published for transparency.
Use our PGP public key to encrypt emails sent to our whistleblower address.

Everything you need to know before submitting.
Yes. Aevum News has a strict, legally binding policy of protecting source confidentiality. We use encrypted submission channels, do not log IP addresses, and our editorial team is trained to strip any identifying metadata from submissions. We have never revealed a confidential source, and we will not.
We accept information about government corruption, corporate malfeasance, human rights abuses, environmental crimes, financial fraud, military misconduct, and any matter of significant public interest. If you believe your information could impact public understanding of an important issue, we want to hear from you.
While we strongly recommend using Tor and our SecureDrop system for maximum anonymity, you can also send PGP-encrypted emails to our whistleblower address. Use a dedicated email account that is not linked to your identity, and encrypt your message using our public PGP key. For additional safety, consider using a privacy-focused email provider.
Our editorial team reviews all submissions within 48 hours. For time-sensitive matters, you should indicate urgency in your submission. We will respond through the same secure channel you used to submit. If you provided a one-time code or password, use that to verify your identity in follow-up communications.
If you are under investigation or have been approached by law enforcement, please still consider submitting your information. Our legal team can provide guidance, and we have experience working with sources in sensitive situations. We will never cooperate with authorities to identify you. You may also wish to consult with a journalist protection attorney before proceeding.
Yes. We regularly receive submissions from individuals acting on behalf of NGOs, advocacy groups, or professional associations. If you are submitting on behalf of an organization, please indicate this clearly. We will verify the information independently and may request additional corroboration before publication.
After submission, our editorial team will review your information for factual accuracy, public interest, and verifiability. We may contact you through the secure channel for follow-up questions. If the information warrants investigation, our journalists will work to corroborate it independently. You will be informed of any resulting publication and have the opportunity to review relevant portions before publication.
Never without explicit consent. We have a longstanding policy of protecting source anonymity. Even if legal authorities demand identification, we have consistently refused. If you wish to be named in a resulting article, you must provide written consent through a secure channel. Otherwise, you will be referred to only by an agreed-upon pseudonym or described generically.
