ProPublica Launches New Version of SecureDrop by Trevor Timm.
From the post:
Today, ProPublica became the first US news organization to launch the new 0.2.1 version of SecureDrop, our open-source whistleblower submission system journalism organizations can use to safely accept documents and information from sources.
ProPublica, an independent, not-for profit news outlet, is known for their hard-hitting journalism and has won several Pulitzer Prizes since its founding just five and a half years ago. ProPublica’s mission focuses on “producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.”
It’s exactly the type of journalism that we aim support at Freedom of the Press Foundation and we hope SecureDrop will help ProPublica further that mission.

Poor security is worse than no security at all. Poor security betrays the trust of those who relied on it.
