Wired Is the Latest Publication to Provide a Secure Space for Sources Bearing Information

Wired signs on to SecureDrop

While Wired is the latest in a still-expanding group of publications offering sources a secure, anonymous space to send information through SecureDrop, there’s something a little different about Wired signing on.

SecureDrop, according to Wired’s Andy Greenberg, was a Wired brainchild:

SecureDrop was, in some respects, invented at WIRED. In 2013, WikiLeaks inspired then-WIRED editor Kevin Poulsen and the late information activist Aaron Swartz to create a prototype for software that would let any site launch a similar portal for leakers and whistle-blowers.
